Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  Lay down now and slumber

Mama's boy is torn a - sunder

All the fields have gone grey

 All the leaves are gone brown

 Let me tell you a story

Lay down, I know you're weary

While the stars in the sky

 While the moon's on the rise

Lay down and don't you wake 'til mornin'

Close your eyes and helpless through the night

Lay down and dream of love and glory

This is a lover's lulla - by

Once was a ma - gician

Fair he was, and handsome

And he brought to the table

 All the fool's gold and wine

 Well, he promised us three favours

Said he was a savior

We drank all his glory

 And we borrowed all his time

Lay down and don't you wake 'til mornin'

Close your eyes and helpless through the night

Lay down and dream of love and glo - ry

This is a lover's lulla - by my love

 sleep tight my love

Softly fade a - way

 The moon was made of old green cheese

To keep the night a - way

Soft - ly now, close your eyes

Lightly will you fade

 The moon was made for wake - ful boys

 To keep the night a - way

Lay down, don't wake 'til mornin'

Close your eyes and helpless through the night

Lay down in all your glo ry

This is a lover's lul - la - by - yy - yy -

Lay down, and don't wake 'til mornin'

Close your eyes all through the night

Lay down in all your glo - ry

This is a lover's lul - la - by - yy - yy -

This is a lover's lul - la - by - yy - yy -
