This isn't the exact song as Lennon plays it, but this version is really nice to
play softly when you're trying to get your twin boys to sleep ;)

Close your eyes, have no fear
The monster's gone, he's on the run and your Daddy's here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Every day, in every way, it's getting better and better

Bm B
Out on the ocean, sailing away
G D
I can hardly wait!

To see you come of age!

But I guess we'll both just have to have patience

'Cause it's a long way to go

A hard row to hoe

Yes it's a long way to go but in the meantime...

Before you cross the street, take my hand
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Em D/B
Darling, darling, darling [insert your boy's name here]
