[Verse 1]
There's a nail in the Amdoor
And there's glass on the Glawn
Tacks on the Dmfloor
And the TV is Amon
And I Calways sleep with Dmmy guns
When you're EgoE7ne
[Verse 2]
There's a blade by the Ambed
And a phone in my Ghand
A dog on the Dmfloor
And some cash on the Amnightstand
When I'm Call alone the dreaming Dmstops
And I just can't E7stand
[Chorus]
What should I Dmdo, I'm just a little baby
What if the Amlights go out and maybe
And then the Dmwind just starts to moan
Outside the B7door he followed me hE7ome
Well, goodnight Dmmoon, I want the sun
If it's not here Amsoon I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'til I E7say
Goodnight Ammoon
[Verse 3]
There's a shark in the Ampool
And a witch in the Gtree
A crazy old Dmneighbour
and he's been Amwatching me
And there's Cfootsteps loud and Dmstrong
coming down the EhaE7ll
Something's under the Ambed
Now it's out in the Ghedge
There's a big black Dmcrow
sitting on my Amwindow ledge
And CI hear something Dmscratching
through the wE7all
[Chorus]
Oh, what should I Dmdo, I'm just a little baby
What if the Amlights go out and maybe
I just Dmhate to be all alone
Outside the B7door he followed me E7home
Now goodnight mDmoon, I want the sun
If it's not here Amsoon I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'til I E7say
Goodnight Ammoon
[Instrumental]
Am G Dm Am C Dm E7
[Verse 4]
Well, you're up so Amhigh
How can you Gsave me
When the dark comes Dmhere
Tonight to Amtake me up
To my front Cwalk and into Dmbed
Where it kisses my E7face and eats my head
[Chorus]
Oh, what should I Dmdo, I'm just a little baby
What if the Amlights go out and maybe
And then the Dmwind just starts to moan
Outside the B7door he followed me E7home
Now goodnight mDmoon, I want the sun
If it's not here Amsoon I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'til I sayE7  
Goodnight Ammoon
No, it won't be too soon 'til I sayE7  
Goodnight Ammoon

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

There's a nail in the door

And there's glass on the lawn

Tacks on the floor

And the TV is on

C Dm

And I always sleep with my guns

E E7

When you're gone

[Verse 2]

There's a blade by the bed

And a phone in my hand

A dog on the floor

And some cash on the nightstand

C Dm

When I'm all alone the dreaming stops

And I just can't stand

[Chorus]

What should I do, I'm just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

And then the wind just starts to moan

B7 E7

Outside the door he followed me home

Well, goodnight moon, I want the sun

If it's not here soon I might be done

No, it won't be too soon 'til I say

Goodnight moon

[Verse 3]

There's a shark in the pool

And a witch in the tree

A crazy old neighbour

and he's been watching me

C Dm

And there's footsteps loud and strong

E E7

coming down the hall

Something's under the bed

Now it's out in the hedge

There's a big black crow

sitting on my window ledge

C Dm

And I hear something scratching

through the wall

[Chorus]

Oh, what should I do, I'm just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

I just hate to be all alone

B7 E7

Outside the door he followed me home

Now goodnight moon, I want the sun

If it's not here soon I might be done

No, it won't be too soon 'til I say

Goodnight moon

[Instrumental]

Am G Dm Am C Dm E7

[Verse 4]

Well, you're up so high

How can you save me

When the dark comes here

Tonight to take me up

C Dm

To my front walk and into bed

Where it kisses my face and eats my head

[Chorus]

Oh, what should I do, I'm just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

And then the wind just starts to moan

B7 E7

Outside the door he followed me home

Now goodnight moon, I want the sun

If it's not here soon I might be done

No, it won't be too soon 'til I say

Goodnight moon

No, it won't be too soon 'til I say

Goodnight moon
