Standard (EADGBE)

At night in bed

 I heard God whisper lullabyes

While Daddy next door

 Whistled whiskey tunes

 And sometimes when I wanted

 They would harmonize

There was nothing those two couldn't do

 Embrace me you child

 You're a child of mine

 And I'm leaving everything I am to you

Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"

 And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"

I thought together they must sing the moon away

I thought that they must know each other well

For the magic that they made

 When they played

Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell

 Embrace me you child

 You're a child of mine

 And I'm leaving everything I am to you

Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"

 And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"

Then one night Daddy died

 And went to Heaven

And God came down to earth

 And slipped away

I pretended not to know

 I'd been abandoned

But no one sang the night into the day

And later night time songs came back again

 But the singers don't compare

 With those I knew

And I never figured out

 Where God and Daddy went

But there was nothing those two couldn't do

 Embrace me you child

 You're a child of mine

 And I'm leaving everything I am to you

Go chase the wild and night time streets sang "Daddy"

 And God sang "Pray the devil doesn't get to you"
