Tim Minchin - Lullaby
DSleep little baby, sleep now my lAove
The milky ways shining high up abGove.
When you grow up you will leGarn G/F#all G/Dthat D/Astuff
But for nAow close your eyes
Close your eAaug5yes
SlDeep little baby try not to squAawk.
Tomorrow and tomorrow youll learn how to wGalk
To love and laugh maGke tG/F#oast G/Dand tD/Aalk
But for nAow beddie byes
Your blGankets hand knitted with pure angora Gmwool
Your naDppy is dry and your tummy is full
Of enAough antihistamine to chill out a bull
Yet stGill G/F#all G/Dthis Dsus2gringe - Ding
D/E D/F#WGhat more could you want for? I just can not gGmuess
You cDonstantly complain to me you should feel blessed
There are chAildren in Africa starving to death
And you doGnt G/F#hear G/Dthem Dsus2whinge - iDng
What mDore can I do to D/F#put D/Ga D/Astop Dto
This mAind numbing noise you are maDking?
WF#here is the line between paBmtting and hitting?
WEhen is rocking rocking and wAhen is it shaking?
I dGont know what else I can do to try and hGmush you
My hDeart says I love you but my brains thinking fuck you
And hoAping a child trafficker will abduct you
At lGeast then Id get a few AhouA/Drs A/Ein Dbed
Ive shGushed and Ive cooed and Ive even tried to Gmsing
Ob-La-DDi Ob-La-Da in the exact voice of Ringo
Now aAll I have left is to hope, that a dingo
Will snGeak in and rip off your fAat bitching hDead
[Break]
D- A- D(quick) - F#- Bm- E- A
Oh hDush little baby, dont say a woArd
Papas gonna buy you a mocking biGrd
In the hope youll get Avian FDlu
The nAice folk in A and E will take care of yDou
[Break]

D- A- D(quick) F#- Bm- E- A
Thats Dit close your eyes shhh not a Gsound
I can bAarely see your tiny belly mDoving up and down
One tF#hing they dont mention in the parenting Bmbook
Your lEove for them grows the clAoser to death they look D
