HUSHABYE MOUNTAIN
*** CAPO 3rd FRET ***
[Verse 1]
Am E C D7
A gentle breeze from hushabye mountain
F Am Dm E
Softly blows o'er lullaby bay
Am E C D7
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting
F Am E Am
Waiting to sail your worries away
Dm Am E (feels like there should be Am but this is skipped)
[Verse 2]
Am E C D7
It isn’t far to hushabye mountain
F Am Dm E
And your boat waits down by the quay
Am E C D7
The winds of night so softly are sighing
F Am E Am and hold…
Soon they will fly your troubles to sea
[Key Change]
Dm A F G
So close your eyes on hushabye mountain
Bb Dm Gm E
Wave goodbye to cares of the day
Back down to original key
Am E C D7
And Watch your boat from hushabye mountain
F Am E Am
Sail far away from lullaby bay
(optionally repeat 1 more time slowing to finish)
F Am E Am
Sail far away from lullaby bay…
