Close your (Ebm7)eyes, lay your (Db)head (Bbm7)down.

Now it’s (Ebm7)time to (Db)sleep.

May you (Ebm7)find great ad (Db)ven (Bbm7)ture

If you’re (Ebm7)scared of the (Db)dark (Bbm7)ness,

I will (Ebm7)calm your (Db)fear.

There’s a (Ebm7)light in the (Db)hall (Bbm7)way

so you (Ebm)know I’m (Ebsus)here.

So (Cb)count (Db)your (Ebm)bless (Db)ings (Gb6)ev (Gb)’ry (Cb)day.

It makes (Db)the (Ebm)mon (Db)sters (Gb6)go (Gb)a (Cb)way.

And ev (Db)’ry (Ebm)thing (Db)will (Gb6)be (Gbsus)o (Cb)kay.

You are (Ab7sus)not a lone.

You are right at home.

Good (Ebm)night.

Good (Cb)night.

You won’t need (Ebm)me for (Absus)ev (Fm)er,

but I’ll still (Bbsus)be (Db)here;

for we (Ebm)all have our (Db)night (Bbm7)mares,

e ven (Abm7)me, my (Bb)dear.

(Ebm)From now on if you (Db)need (Gbmaj7)me

(Abm)you can (Cb)sing (Cbmaj7)this (Db)song.

There’s a (Eb5)light in the (Db)hall (Bbm7)way

burn ing (Abm7)all night (Eb)long.

So (Cb)count (Db)your (Ebm)bless (Db)ings (Gb6)ev (Ebm)’ry (Cb)day.

It makes (Db)the (Ebm)mon (Db)sters (Gb6)go (Ebm)a (Cb)way.
