[Intro]
C G/B F C G/B F
[Verse]
C G/B Am F
Backward, turn backward, Time in your flight
C G/B Dm G
Make me a child again, just for tonight
C G/B Dm Am
Mother, come back from the echoless shore
C G/B Am F
Take me again to your heart like before
[Verse]
C G/B Am F
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care
C G/B Dm G
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
C G/B Dm Am
Over my slumber your loving watch keep
C G/B Am F
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep
[Verse]
C G/B Am F
Backward, flow backward, tide of the years
C G/B Dm G
I am so weary of toil and of tears
C G/B Dm Am
Toil without recompense, tears all in vain
C G/B Am F
Take them and give me my childhood again
[Verse]
C G/B Am F
For I have grown weary of dust and decay
C G/B Dm G
Weary of flinging my soul wealth away
C G/B Dm Am
Weary of sowing for others to reap
C G/B Am F
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep
[Bridge]
C G Dm7 Am
Mother, oh mother, my heart calls for you
C G/B C F
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue
C Am Dm7 G
Many's a summer the grass has grown green
C G/B Dm7 G
Blossomed and faded, our faces - between
[Verse]
C G/B Am F
Backward, oh backward, Time in your flight
C G/B Dm G
Make me a child again, just for tonight
C G/B Dm Am
Come from the silence so long and so deep
C G/B Am F
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep
C G/B C Am
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep
