Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
SONG: ROCKABYE
ARTIST: THE MAYRIES
TAB BY: DON CZARSKI
EMAIL: [email protected]
NOTE: I did this tab in standard tuning even though
I believe a different tuning was used.
The song consists of just 4 chords played
over and over and in the same exact order.
I know this because I have watched a YouTube
video of them playing this song and the chords
and changes are exactly where I have indicated.
ROCKABYE
THE MAYRIES
CAPO: 3rd FRET
INTRO:
C G Em
VERSE:
D C
She works the nights,
G
By the water
Em D
She's gone astray, so far away
C
From her father's daughter
G Em D
She just wants a life
C
For her baby
G Em
All on her own,
D
No one will come
C G
She's got to save him
PRE-CHORUS:
Em
She tells him, "Ooh, love,
D C
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
G Em
I'm gonna give you all of my love
D C G
Nobody matters like you"
Em
She tells him, "Your life
D C
ain't gon' be nothing like my life
G Em
You're gonna grow and have a good life
D C G
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"
CHORUS:
Em D
So, Rockabye baby,
C
Rockabye
G
I'm gonna rock you
Em D
Rockabye baby,
C
Don't you cry
G
Somebody's got you
Em D
So, Rockabye baby,
C
Rockabye
G
I'm gonna rock you
Em D
Rockabye baby,
C G
Don't you cry
VERSE:
Em D
And no mama, you never shed tear
C G
'Cause you have to set things year after year
Em D
You give the youth love beyond compare
C G
You find the school fee and the bus fare
Em D
Mmm, more, when pops disappear
C G
In the wrong bar can't find him nowhere
BREAK:
Em D
Now she got a six year old
C
Trying to keep him warm
G Em
Trying to keep out the cold
D
When he looks in her eyes
C G
He don't know he is safe
When she says
PRE-CHORUS:
Em
"Ooh, love,
D C
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
G Em
I'm gonna give you all of my love
D C G
Nobody matters like yoooooou"
CHORUS:
Em D
So, Rockabye baby,
C
Rockabye
G
I'm gonna rock you
Em D
Rockabye baby,
C
Don't you cry
G
Somebody's got you
Em D
Rockabye baby,
C
Rockabye
G
I'm gonna rock you
Em D
Rockabye baby,
C G
Don't you cry
