Am E7 Am
That's another day gone by, son, close your eyes
C G F
For the moon is chasing clouds across the skies
Am E7
Got to sleep and have no fear, son
C G F
For your mam and dad are near, son
G F E7
And the giant is just a shadow on the wall
Am E7 Am
Go to sleep and when you wake it will be light
C G F
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
C G F
Only greedy sons-of-bitches
G F E7
Who are waiting to exploit your life away

Am E7 Am
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
