xI could not believe nobody had requested or tabbed this song! This is a very powerful
simple song and Kate Rusby is underrated. Enjoy!
C F C G
Lay me down gently, lay me down low,
C F G
I fear I am broken and won't mend, I know.
F G C F
One thing I ask when the stars light the skies,
Am G C C/B
Who now will sing me lullabies,
Am G C
Oh who now will sing me lullabies.
C F C G
In this big world I'm lonely, for I am but small,
C F G
Oh angels in heaven, don't you care for me at all?
F G C F
You heard my heart breaking for it rang through the skies,
Am G C C/B
So why don't you sing me lullabies,
Am G C
Oh why don't you sing me lullabies.
C F C G
I lay here; I'm weeping for the stars they have come,
C F G
I lay here not sleeping; now the long night has begun.
F G C F
The man in the moon, oh he can't help but cry,
Am G C C/B
For there's no one to sing me lullabies,
Am G C
Oh there's no one to sing me lullabies.
(Chords next on the breakdown aren't actually played on guitar, but I play broken chords)
C F C G
Lay me down gently, lay me down low,
C F G
I fear I am broken and won't mend, I know.
F G C F
One thing I ask when the stars light the skies,
Am G C C/B
Who now will sing me lullabies,
Am G C
Oh who now will sing me lullabies.
C F
Who will sing me to sleep
C F
Who will sing me to sleep
C F
Who will sing me to sleep
C F
Who will sing me to sleep
