There wasn't an accurate version of this so thought I'd put it up.
Sounds best with part-finger picking in the verse and strumming in the Chorus

[Intro (Wretch 32)]:
Am
Hush little baby don't you cry
F
I said hush little baby don't you cry
C
I said hush little baby don't you cry no
G
I said hush little baby don't you cry
[Verse 1 (Wretch 32)]:
Am
I'm saying hush little baby don't you cry, daddy ain't sure if he can raise you right
F
I ain't even good with saving my money, why should I think I can save your life?
C
And the whole family's gonna think I'm a devil, I don't wanna see my angels eyes
G
I say this with one hand on my heart, guilt ain't gonna make me change my mind
Am
My first thoughts, were the worst thoughts, running 'round my head in circles
F
The worlds gonna hate me for saying this, but patience is a virtue
C
So we don't have to rush for our first youth, we can take time do rehearsals
G
And I ain't acting this is personal, and I ain't doing this just to hurt you
[Chorus (Ed)]:
Am F
I should say goodbye, before I say hello
C G
So darling hold me, closely, tonight
Am F
Because if you open your eyes, I'll never let you go
C G
Moving slowly, we'll both sleep tonight
Am (palm mute) F
And we'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up

[Verse 2 (Wretch 32)]:
Am
When I'm telling her about raving
She's telling me about cravings
F
I want her to just get the message
I don't wanna have to be so blatant
C
So I told her my life ain't balanced
Yeah, said the time ain't right
G/A
She said god's clock's the only one that matters
And it's about time I tried,
Am
Yeah and if I listen to my family
Then they'll be a new addition to my family
F
I can't help feeling peer pressured, everybody's looking down but they don't understand me
C
And everyone's so suggestive, I'm getting mixed messages, but nobody's rang me
G
Huh, I'm saying this ain't a game, but I say the wrong thing and everyone wants to hang me.
[Chorus (Ed)]:
Am F
I should say goodbye, before I say hello
C G
So darling hold me, closely, tonight
Am F
Because if you open your eyes, I'll never let you go
C G
Moving slowly, we'll both sleep tonight
Am (Down Strokes) F
And we'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up
[Bridge (Wretch 32)]:
Am
Hush little baby don't you cry,
F
I said hush little baby don't you cry,
C
I said hush little baby don't you cry, no,
G/A
I said hush little baby don't you cry
[Chorus (Ed)]:
Am F |
I should say goodbye, before I say hello |
C G | (Palm Mute/ Down strokes only)
So darling hold me, closely, tonight |
Am F
Because if you open your eyes, I'll never let you go
C G
Moving slowly, we'll both sleep tonight
Am (Down Strokes) F
And we'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up
