Sleep, Australia, Sleep Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Sleep, Australia, sleep
The [G]night is on the [D]creep
Shut out the noise all [A]around
[D]Sleep, Australia, sleep
And [G]dream of counting [D]sheep
Jumping in [A]fields coloured [D]brown
[G]Who'll rock the cradle and [D]cry?
[Bm]Who'll rock the cradle and [A]cry?
[D]Sleep, Australia, sleep
As off the [G]cliff the [D]kingdoms leap
Count them as [A]they say good[D]bye
Count [G]down the little things
The [D]insects and birds
[Bm]Count down the bigger things
The [Em]flocks and the herds
[G]Count down our rivers
Our [D]pastures and trees
But there's [Bm]no need to hurry
Oh, [Em]sleep now, don't worry
'Coz it's [G]only a matter of [A]de grees
[D]Fog, Australia, fog
Just [G]like the [D]boiling frog
As we go we [A]won't feel a thing
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Who'll[G][D][A][D][G]
[D][A]
[D]roc[G]k the cradle and cry[D]?
[Bm]Who'll rock the cradle and [A]cry?
[D]Sleep, my country, sleep
As off the [G]cliff the [D]kingdoms leap
Count them as [A]they pass on [D]by
Our [G]children might know them
But their [D]children will not
We won't [Bm]know 'til it's gone
All the [Em]glory we've got
But [Bm]there are [G]more wonders coming
All [D]new kinds of shows
With [Bm]acid seas rising
To [D]kiss coastal mountains
And [Bm]big cyclones pounding
[D]And firestorms devouring
And we'll [Em]lose track of counting
As the [F#m]corpses keep mounting
But hey, [G]that's just the way
this old world [A]goes
[D]Sleep, my country, sleep
As we [G]sow so shall we [D]reap
Who'll rock [A]the cradle and cry?
[D]
