{c: Much easier if you Transpose one tone to D}
[Eb] Won’t you play the [Gm] music so the [Eb6] cradle can [Eb] rock
to a [Fm7] lullaby [Gdim] in [Fm7] ragtime
{c: }
[Fm] Sleepy hands are [Caug] creeping to the [Fm7] end of the [Bb7] clock,
play a [Fm7] lullaby [Bb7+5] in [Eb] ragtime
{c: }
[Eb] You can tell the [Gm] sandman is [Eb7] on his way
[Ab] by the way [Abm6] that they play
{c: }
As [F7] still as the [Cm7] trill of a [F7] thrush at twilight’s [Bb7] hush
[Bb7+5] ..so you can hear the
{c: }
[Eb] Rhythm of the [Gm] ripples on the [Eb6] side of the [Eb] boat
as you [Fm7] sail a-[Gdim]way to [Fm7] dreamland
{c: }
[Fm] High above the [Caug] moon you hear a [Fm7] silvery [Bb7] note
as the [Fm7] sandman [Bb7] takes your [Eb] hand [Eb7]
{c: }
So [Ab] rock-a-bye my baby, [Abm6] don’t you cry my baby,
[Eb] sleepy [C#7] time is [C7] nigh
{c: }
Won’t you [Fm] rock [C7] me [Fm] to a ragtime [Fm7] lull-[Bb7]a-[Eb] by [Eb6]
{c: }
I really want to learn to play this one – will take a while!!!!
