Plea For A Good Nights Rest Chords

Capo 8th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 There are thCick stars up above

 Where the tAmrees part themselves

EmThick dust among many

GCorks lined up on the shelf

 And batCs in the attic we sAmhare, we sharEme G

 There is smokCe to kill mosquitoes

 Waiting justAm above to drink our blood

 And gasEm in a lamp that we light

 When the sun goes doGwn

 My love wakes shaCking with nightmarAme

 And the night aEmir pulls in close arounGd

 Come revenAmant, come, come ye gentle Fhost,

 To my patient Chip and across our sleeping Gcoasts.

 Lay down your Ammantle, shot through with Fgold,

 That we may lie aCgain, here in sweet reGpose.

CRest your arms down around the Amoars now

 And hear how the Emnight continues on alive and Gwell.

 When how Crare the bird, how still the Amwind!

 And we still withEmin it sigh and shift and Gturn,

saying,

CSleep she comes to steal the ones who

AmFill their glass and leave the rest,

 Whose Emteeth get brushed, who eat enough,

 And who know Ghow to treat their friends.

CHow long this night seAmems with

 No sign of a bEmright dream to guide us toward the Gday,

Am....to guide us toward the Gday.

 Come revenaAmnt, come, come ye gentle Fhost.

 To my patient Chip and across our sleeping cGoasts.

 Lay down your Ammantle, shot through with Fgold,

 That we may lie agaCin, here in sweet repoGse, ah swAmeet.
