           Tim Minchin - Lullaby


D                                ASleep little baby, sleep now my love

                                 GThe milky ways shining high up above.

                            G   G/F#  G/D   D/AWhen you grow up you will learn all   that  stuff

         A        But for now close your eyes

            Aaug5
Close your eyes

  D                             ASleep little baby try not to squawk.

                                          GTomorrow and tomorrow youll learn how to walk

                    G   G/F# G/D  D/ATo love and laugh make toast and talk

         ABut for now beddie byes

       G                                    GmYour 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    DYet 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

            AThere are children in Africa starving to death

          G  G/F# G/D  Dsus2     DAnd you dont hear them whinge - ing

      D               D/F# D/G  D/A  DWhat more can I do to put   a   stop to

      A                           DThis mind numbing noise you are making?

 F#                         BmWhere is the line between patting and hitting?

 E                           AWhen is rocking rocking and when is it shaking?

   G                                       GmI 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

      AAnd hoping a child trafficker will abduct you

    G                      A  A/D  A/E   DAt least then Id get a few hours   in    bed

      G                                         GmIve shushed and Ive cooed and Ive even tried to sing 

      D                                     Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da in the exact voice of Ringo
 
     ANow all I have left is to hope, that a dingo 

       G                        A            DWill sneak in and rip off your fat bitching head

[Break]
D - A - D(quick) - F# - Bm - E - A

                                GPapas gonna buy you a mocking bird

                             DIn the hope youll get Avian Flu 

     A                                      DThe nice folk in A and E will take care of you

[Break]

       A                          DI can barely see your tiny belly moving up and down

     F#                                      BmOne thing they dont mention in the parenting book

      E                        A                           DYour love for them grows the closer to death they look
