Tim Minchin - Lullaby
D A
Sleep little baby, sleep now my love
G
The milky ways shining high up above.
G G/F# G/D D/A
When you grow up you will learn all that stuff
A
But for now close your eyes
Aaug5
Close your eyes
D A
Sleep little baby try not to squawk.
G
Tomorrow and tomorrow youll learn how to walk
G G/F# G/D D/A
To love and laugh make toast and talk
A
But for now beddie byes
G Gm
Your blankets hand knitted with pure angora wool
D
Your nappy is dry and your tummy is full
A
Of enough antihistamine to chill out a bull
G G/F# G/D Dsus2 D
Yet still all this gringe - ing
D/E D/F# G Gm
What more could you want for? I just can not guess
D
You constantly complain to me you should feel blessed
A
There are children in Africa starving to death
G G/F# G/D Dsus2 D
And you dont hear them whinge - ing
D D/F# D/G D/A D
What more can I do to put a stop to
A D
This mind numbing noise you are making?
F# Bm
Where is the line between patting and hitting?
E A
When is rocking rocking and when is it shaking?
G Gm
I dont know what else I can do to try and hush you
D
My heart says I love you but my brains thinking fuck you
A
And hoping a child trafficker will abduct you
G A A/D A/E D
At least then Id get a few hours in bed
G Gm
Ive shushed and Ive cooed and Ive even tried to sing
D
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da in the exact voice of Ringo
A
Now all I have left is to hope, that a dingo
G A D
Will sneak in and rip off your fat bitching head
[Break]
D - A - D(quick) - F# - Bm - E - A
D A
Oh hush little baby, dont say a word
G
Papas gonna buy you a mocking bird
D
In the hope youll get Avian Flu
A D
The nice folk in A and E will take care of you
[Break]
D - A - D(quick) F# - Bm - E - A
D - A - D(quick) F# - Bm - E - A
D
Thats it close your eyes shhh not a sound
A D
I can barely see your tiny belly moving up and down
F# Bm
One thing they dont mention in the parenting book
E A D
Your love for them grows the closer to death they look
