Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

G D/G B11 Cadd9 :Play accented bass notes of chords on guitar with

right hand muting across bridge.

Verse 1

Right hand muting integral throughout verses on most every chord.

D/G = this chord barely suggested in verses.

She grew up with the children of the stars

In the holl y wood hills and the boulevard

Her parents threw big parties everyone was there

They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper, & Bob Seeger, & Sonny and Cher

Intro to verse 2:

(Hit it hard! Strong root and 5th of chords: let upper notes ring.)

Verse 2

(same as verse 1)

She feels safe now in this bar on fairfax

And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go she can't relax

And just before she hangs her head to cry,

I sing to her. . . . a lulla-by

Chorus

(Hit it hard! Strong root and 5th of chords:)

  (Stay on )

(I sing) Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right

  Rockabye, Rock a bye

  Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right

  Tacit

Rockabye, Rock a bye

. Rock a bye

Intro to verse 3

(Softly)

Verse 3

(same as before)

She still lives with her mom outside the city

Down that street about a half a mile

And all her friends tell her she's so pretty

But she'd be so much prettier if she smiled once in a while

Cause even her smile looks like a frown

She's seen her share on devils in this angel town

Chorus

  (Stay on )

Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right

  Rockabye, Rock a bye

  Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right

  Tacit

Rockabye, Rock a bye …. Rock a bye

Guitar SOLO with power chord variation:

Verse4

(same as before w/ variation on 4th line)

I told her I ain't so sure about this place

It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face

It seems like everybody's got a plan

It's kind of like Nashville with a tan

Repeated Chorus to Coda:

(much softer )

  Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right

  Rockabye, Rock a bye

  Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right

  To Rockabye, Rock a bye …. Ah, na, na…

Repeat to coda....

a final word:

(you'll have to figure out the coda on your own....lol)

This is not %100 accurate but it's real close.

Have fun...

Hope you enjoy playing the song.

Shawn wrote us all a great one!
