Goodnight Boy Chords

   
Hey everyone.  This is my first attempt at a tab, so, gather what you will from that.
is a great song and it's a shame that you cannot find this tab anywhere.  So here goes.
free to update this as there are probably some things missing.   I don't know if these 
the right chord voicings, but they sound ok, at least when you are playing on your own.


This is in 3/4

|G        |Gmaj7    |G         |Gmaj7
Goodnight Boy.....  Go to sleep Boy

|E         |Bm       |E         |E
Shutup... Boy ....for me


|G        |Gmaj7    |G         |Gmaj7
Goodnight Boy.....  Go to sleep Boy

|G        |Gmaj7    |Em        |Em
Shutup....Boy.......for me


He repeats the last 8 measures a few times and ends on G with "The troops rush in."

There you go.  When I play it alone on guitar I substitute a D/F# for the Gmaj7...It
sounds better...he might actually play something different at that part, it's hard to tell
the organ over it.

Anyways, enjoy!
