     E            Em/G     
The bent twig of darkness 
           B7            E 
Grows the petals of the morning 
     E               Em/G 
It shows to them the birds singing 
 B7              E 
Just behind the dawning 

     E7             A             E 
Come dip into the cloud cream lapping 
   E            Em/G          B7 
I can't keep my hand on the plough 
              B7 
Because it's dying 

    E              A           B7  
But I will lay me down with my arms 
          E 
Round a rainbow 
    E             Em/G      E     B7  E  B7 
And I will lay me down to dream 

     E 
Oh, will your magic 
   A                   B7 
Christmas tree be shining 
    E  B7    E 
Gently all around? 

  E                Em/G 
Climbing up these figures 
            B7             E 
The sun is tugging at my shoulder 
     E           Em/G 
And every step I take 
             B7               E 
I think, my feet are getting older 

  E7                A          E 
I see the crystal dreams unfolding 
   E            Em/G         B7 
I can't keep my eyes on the book 
                  B7 
Because it's mouldering 


    E              A           B7  
But I will lay me down with my arms 
          E 
Round a rainbow 
    E             Em/G      E     B7  E  B7 
And I will lay me down to dream 


     E 
Oh, will your magic 
   A                   B7 
Christmas tree be shining 
    E  B7    E 
Gently all around?
