Sheep May Safely Graze Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F#m]Sheep may safely graze
All [G]the wolves have been rounded up

[Verse 2]
And put to bed
[F#m]Sheep may safely graze
There are only [G]days of happiness

[Verse 3]
Up ahead
[A]Sheep may safely graze, my boy
All the cro[G]codiles have been hunted

[Verse 4]
From your dreams
[A]Sheep may safely graze
While the [G]lambs are gambolling

[Verse 5]
By the streams
[D]Sheep may safely graze
All the lost chil[C]dren will be found

[Verse 6]
In time
[D]Sheep may safely graze, my boy
Close your [C]eyes
Your [G]daddy is by your side

[Verse 7]
[D]And[F#] if by chance, you wake at [B]night
The hollow sorrow [F#]that lingers[B]
And you grab at the [C#]tails of your dreams
But [F#]they scuttle through your fin[D#m]gers[F#]
All you can hear outside
Is [F#m]the roar of [B]a city being [Bm]raised[F#]
That's just the powers [C#]that be
Making it safe to graze
[F#]

[Verse 8]
[F#m]Sheep may safely graze
The bluebirds [G]have chased the vultures

[Verse 9]
From the sky
[F#m]Sheep may safely graze
The day has merely [G]gone now

[Verse 10]
And closed its eyes
[A]Sheep may safely graze, my boy
All [G]the fishes are leaping

[Verse 11]
Into the net
[A]Sheep may safely graze
Yes my [G]darling

[Verse 12]
This is as good as it gets
[D]Sheep may safely graze
All the lost [C]children will be found
In time

[Verse 13]
[D]Sheep may safely graze, my boy
Close your [C]eyes
Your [G]daddy is by your side

[Verse 14]
[D]And [F#]you should wake
[B]tomorrow
The fences are all [F#]torn [B]down
The woods are full [C#]of howling beasts
And there ain't [F#]nobody [D#m]around[F#]
And everything seems foreign
[B]To your little [Bm]ways[F#]
That's just the Gods above
[C#]Making it safe to graze
[F#]

[Verse 15]
[B]
The fox has its hole
[Bm]The [B]bird[A] has its nest[F#m][E]
But the sun [Em]out has no p[D]lace
To [Dm]lay his head and graze
