Excuse mistakes, done by ear.
No Capo
Chords: C, F, Am, Dm, G
( F can be changed to Fmaj7 )
(I like to use a d-d-dudududu strumming pattern for this song because it
mimics the sound of the music box in the actual song)
(Note: This is a very simple way to play this song. I could tab out the
entirety of the music box notes so it could be plucked if enough of you ask for it.)
[Intro:]
C F Am F
[Verse:]
C
When I was a child
F
they'd ask me where it hurt
Am F
and wipe the tears from my eyes
C
Sure embraces,
F
gentle forehead kisses
Am F
making sure that I was alright
[Pre-Chorus:]
C F
As I grew older and the nights grew shorter
Am F
I no longer cared where it hurt
[Chorus:]
C F
All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
Am F
there to cradle me to sleep
C F
All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
Am F
there to cradle me to sleep
[Verse:]
C
Scars they heal in time
F
the raw wounds on my mind
Am F
they aren't so easily fixed
C
You can't mend what isn't broken
F
Kind words are rarely spoken
Am F
in time I will learn this
[Pre-Chorus:]
C
But I grow older
F
and the nights grow shorter
Am F
drowning as I sink or swim
[Chorus:]
C F
All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
Am F
there to cradle me to sleep
C F
All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
Am F
there to cradle me to sleep
[Bridge:]
C F
Sticks and stones they break me to the bone
Am F
Words they cut they will always hurt me
(Here you can do one strum each chord or continue to strum)

Please be my saving Grace

Please be my saving Grace

How to answer all my prayers

Please be my saving Grace

(Back to strumming)
C F
All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
Am F
there to cradle me to sleep
C F
and all I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
Am F
there to cradle me to sleep
[Bridge:]
C F
Sticks and stones they break me to the bone
Am F
Words they cut they will always hurt me
C F
Sticks and stones they break me to the bone
Am F
Words they cut they will always hurt me
