Intro: G D Am C
G
She left town on a 3 o'clock train,
D
Goin' God knows where...far away,
Am
And the last words she spoke to me,
C
is "I'll be all right."
G
She grew up in a sad dark place,
D
The kind of path you don't retrace.
Am
Been tryin' to wake from nightmares,
C
All her days.
G
Goodnight, goodnight,
D
goodnight, goodnight,
Am C
Oh goodnight...and this is her lullaby.
G
LA sun, it warms her face,
D
And she don't seem so far away.
Am
She sends photographs,
C
Hold me tight.
G
and I call her on the phone again,
D
And ask if she'll come home, and then,
Am
I won't hang up,
C
Until she says she might.
G
and I sing Goodnight, goodnight,
D
goodnight, goodnight,
Am C
Oh goodnight... and this is her lullaby.
G
I sing Goodnight, goodnight,
D
goodnight, goodnight,
Am C
Oh goodnight...and this is her lullaby.
Am C
I don't know if I believe,
G D
I'm everything this woman needs,
Am C
But I swear on my soul,
G D
I'd rather die than let her go.
Am C
She's been searching from the start,
G D
For pieces of her tattered heart.
G C D
I know...but I'm not sure...
G
These winter nights, she's in my prayers.
D
I wake to find she isn't there...
Am
And every time,
C
I laugh until I cry.
G
and I sing Goodnight, goodnight,
D
goodnight, goodnight,
Am C
Oh goodnight... and this is her lullaby.
G
I sing Goodnight, goodnight,
D
goodnight, goodnight,
Am C G
Oh goodnight...and this is her...This is her lullaby...
D
This is her lullaby
D
This is her lullaby
Am
This is her lullaby
C G
This is her... this is her lullaby
