Am E7 Am
That's another day gone by son close your eyes

For the moon is chasing clouds across the skies
Am E7
Got to sleep and have no fear son

For your mam and dad are near son

And the giant is just a shadow on the wall
Am E7 Am
Go to sleep and when you wake it will be light

There's no need to fear the darkness of the night
Am E7
It's not like the dark you find son
C G F
In the depths of some men's minds son
G F E7
That defies the daily coming of the dawn
Am E7 Am
Stop crying now let daddy dry your tears
C G F
There's no bogeyman to get you never fear
Am E7
There's no ogres wicked witches

Only greedy sons-of-bitches

Lie easy in your bed and grow up strong
C G F
You'll be needing all your strength before too long
Am E7
For you'll soon be on your way son
C G F
Fighting battles every day son
G F E7
With an enemy who thinks he owns the world
Am E7 Am
Don't you let 'em buy you out or break your pride
C G F
Don't you let yourself be used then cast aside
Am E7
If you listen to their lying
C G F
They will con you into dying
G F E7
You won't even know that you were once alive
Am E7 Am
No more talking now it's time to go to sleep
C G F
There are answers to your questions but they'll keep
Am E7
Go on asking while you grow son
C G F
Go on asking till you know son
E7 F G
And then send the answers ringing through the world
G F E7
And then send the answers ringing through the world
