Intro: CCGC X 2
1. C The Milky F Way G upon the C heavens
Is twinkling F just for G you
C And Mr. F Moon E7 he came Am by
To F say good-Dm night to G you
C I’ll sing for F you G I’ll sing for C mother
We’re praying F for the G world
C And for the F people E7 every-Am where
Gonna F show them Dm all we G care
Chorus: Oh my C sleeping F child
The world’s so G wild
But you’ve C build your F own
Para-G dise that’s one C reason F why
I’ll Dm cover you G7 sleeping C child GC
2. C If all the F people G around the C world
They had a F mind like G yours
C We’d have no F fighting E7 and no Am wars
There would be F lasting Dm peace on G Earth
C If all the F kings G and all the C leaders
Could see you F here this G7 way
C They would hold the F Earth E7 in their Am arms
They would F learn to Dm watch you C play
Chorus: Oh my C sleeping F child
The world’s so G wild
But you’ve C build your F own
Para-G dise that’s one C reason F why
I’ll Dm cover you G7 sleeping C child
* F I’m gonna C cover my G sleeping child FAmG
Keep you C away from the G world so wide
Keep you F away from the world, a-G way from the world so C wide
