[Verse 1]
That's anoth[Am]er day gone b[A]y son,
[Am]close your eyes
[C]Now the moon [G]is chasing
[D]clouds across the [Em]sky[F]
[G]Go to [D]sleep and have no fear, [Bb]son
For your [Am]mam and dad are near,
[E]son
[Em]And the gi[G]ant is [Am]just a shadow on the wall
[Em]

[Verse 2]
Go to sleep,
[Am]and [G]when you wake it will [Am]be light[G]
[Am]There's no need [Em]to fear
the darkness [F]of the night
[D]It's not like the dark you find, son
In [G]the depth of some men's [F]minds, son
That [G]de fies [Am]the daily
coming of the [G]dawn
[Am]Lie easy [G]in your [Am]bed and grow

[Verse 3]
up strong
[G]You'll be [Em]needing all your strength
[D]before too [Em]long
[C]For you'll soo[D]n be [Bb]on your way, son
[Am]Fighting battles every day, [Em]son
With an en[Am]emy who [Bm]think
[G]s he owns [Am]the world[G]
[Em]Stop your

[Verse 4]
[Am]cry ing now, let
[G]daddy dry your [Am]tears
[G]There's no [Am]bogeyman to get you,
nev[F]er fear
[G]There's no ogres, wicked witches
Only [Am]greedy [Em]sons of bitches
Who are wait[G]ing to exploit your life
[Am]away[Bb][G]
Don't you let 'em buy you out or [Am]break your pride

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Don't you let yourself be
[G]used then [Am]cast aside
If you listen to [D]their lying
[Am]They will con you into dy
[Em]ing
You won't even [Am]know that [G]you were
[Am]once alive[Em]
[G]No more talking now, it's time to go to

[Verse 6]
[Am]
sleep
There are [G]answers to your questions,
but they'll [Em]keep[F]
[G]Go on asking [D]while you grow, son
Go on ask[Am]ing 'til you know,
[Em]son[Am]
[E]And then [G]send the [Am]answers
ringing [G]through the [Am]world
