Comment for any corrections and please rate
The chords I wrote here are for the acoustic version of
Goodnight of the album Home,
Though you can also play them along with the original.
D F#m Bm D G D Em A
D F#m Bm
Well, it's after midnight and the stars are shining bright
D G D Em A
And a big fat moon is dancing on the sea, and I'm thinking, oh my...
D F#m Bm
And that old man in the sky he's looking me right in the eye
D G D
And he's wondering why, and he's saying "little singer,
Em A D F#m
Why aren't you sleeping, why aren't you sleeping? "
Bm D G D
Oh, the day is hanging heavy on my eyes,
G Em A D G D
I guess the time has come to say goodnight...
A D A G D
And may your dreams take you travelling all night long,
Bm F#m Em A
With an angel by your side when the wind blows strong
D A G D
Oh stay away from that city, that sad and lonely place,
Bm F#m G
I will lead you to the river, here's the door,
A
And the key is turning round,
F# Bm D
Close the shutters, do not cry, there's a new moon in the sky;
D Bm Em A
Oh hold on to your love, until your time has come to say... goodnight.
