[Verse 1]
C
If I could change the alphabet I’d put “U” before “I”
C
You know we would be a set in every nursery rhyme
F
I would be Jack and you would be my Jill
C
Ain’t goin’ back, back up that hill
G
But you can hold my crown
C
In case I tumble down, again.
C
I guess I would be the dish 'cause you're my little spoon
C
And like the dog we’d both laugh if a cow jumped over the moon
F
Hear the fiddle play as we’d run away
C
Diddle diddle, hey hey, yeah hey hey hey
G
Star light twinkle bright
C
Won’t you guide us home tonight
[Chorus]
F
Hush my baby don’t say a word
F
Listen to the lady bird
C
She sings for you and me
C
And our itsy-bitsy
F
No my darlin’ don’t make a peep
F
Close your eyes count black sheep
C
Hear the bell dong-ding
C
While the rain is pouring
F
And the cocka-doodle-doo of the coo-coo clock
F
As you gently row your boat to the hickory dock
C
Yeah your dreaming merely, darlin’ don’t you cry
G F
Rockabye to our sweet lullaby
[Instrumental]
C F G C
C F G C
[Verse 2]
C
When you're an old mother
C
Digging through your cupboard
C
For fixings from the muffin man
C
You’ll be the baker I’ll be your man
F
Like London Bridge I fell for you
F
And how I’ll be a little blue
C
When you can’t remember how to count to two
G C
But you can count on me to always buckle your shoes
[Chorus]
F
Hush my baby don’t say a word
F
Listen to the lady bird
C
She sings for you and me
C
And our itsy-bitsy
F
No my darlin’ don’t make a peep
F
Close your eyes count black sheep
C
Hear the bell dong-ding
C
While the rain is pouring
F
And the cocka-doodle-doo of the coo-coo clock
F
As you gently row your boat to the hickory dock
C
Yeah your dreaming merely, darlin’ don’t you cry
G F C
Rockabye to our love's lullaby
G F C
Rockabye our whole life's a lullaby
