Capo at 1st fret
NOTICE!
In the first chorus the chords are in brackets because
they are not played in the original song but I've still
timed them if you want to play them.
[Chorus]
(F) (C)
Hush little baby, don't say a word
(G) (Am) (G)
Go and get that rest that you deserve
(F) (C)
Let that sun keep shinin' down
(G) (Am)
Take a trip to sleepy town
F F C C
Hush, hush
G Am G
Go and take a nap!
F F C C Fb
Hush, hush, hu-u-u-u-ush
[Rap verse 1]
Am
Every everyday outta bed at the first crack of dawn
F D#
Get dressed, breakfast through a non-stop yawn
Am
Coffee after coffee at the office all mornin'
F D#
But the only part about me waking up is my colon
Am
As my day is gettin' hectic I'm becoming narcoleptic
F D#
Getting nowhere on my checklist dreaming would be more effective
Am
Now I'm picturing my hammock strung between two trees
F D#
My mind is at ease as I sway in the breeze
Am
Just absorbing the peace
Man, what I'd give to be unconcious
F D#
Get horizontal and do anything that's not this
Am
Workin on these spreadsheets wish i had my bed sheets
F D#
Head meets keyboard and I get to countin' mad sheep
Am
Been overworked like a dog; beagle
F D#
I should be sleepin' like a log; Beatles
[Chorus]
F C
Hush little baby, don't say a word
G Am G
Poor, weary thing you've been overworked
F C
Let that sun keep shinin' down
G Am
Take a trip to sleepy town
[Rap verse 2]
Am
It's a beutiful day
Man, I gotta take advantage
F D#
What better way to celebrate than emulate the Spanish
Am
My head's all dizzy, eyelids heavy
F D#
It's 2: 30 somewhere let's get this siesta ready
Am
Scented candle burnin' that nostalgic smell of cinnamon
F D#
It takes me back to preschool feel like I'm a kid again
Am
I found my favorite onesie got it zipped right up
F D#
Decked out with police cars and the red firetrucks
Am
Got my spot pimped out satin covers on the couch
F D#
Rock the suede blindfold pacifier for my mouth
Am
I got so many teddies made of plush and love and nylon
F D#
And noise reduction headphones so I get my lullaby on
Am
Now quiet in the room
Man, no more talkin
F
And let me drift away
D#
to my Sarah Mclachlan
[Bridge]
F C
Dude, you sleep a lot
G
I mean, how do you keep your job?
Am G F
Frankly it's a miracle in this economy
C
Nevermind, we digress
Fb
We'll leave you alone to rest
Fb
Go and get your dream on
[Rap verse 3]
Am
We are the architects homie, in control of your dreams
F D#
Yeah, make your lazy mind work with shit it ain't ever seen
Am
We'll make the girl of your fantasies meet you for dinner
F D#
But she's got a thick beard and she's wearing duck flippers
Am
You can try to run away but you're stuck in slow motion
F D#
You think you're close to home but you're stuck in Nova Scotia?
Am
And i'ts clod, son
You ain't got no clothes on
F
Invisible to no one
D#
Whoa! That was a close one
Am
Oh, so embarrassing, situation harrowing
F D#
Feel your knees shaking as your vision's slowly narrowing
Am
Then we rip the ground from beneath your very toes
F D#
Tumble in the blackness and death is gettin' very close
Am
Now wake up!
You seem fine - with one exception
F
You got duck feet - you're fast asleep
D#
Three layers deep - Inception!
[Chorus]
F C
Hush little baby, don't say a word
G Am
Lazy motherfucker, you've been served
F C
Go get dressed and go outside
G Am
Normal people sleep at night
F F C C
Hush, Hush
G Am G
Don't take no more naps
F F C C Fb
Hush, Hush, Hu-u-u-u-ush
