City Lullably by Al Scorch
Standard Tuning
Capo 4: All chords relative to capo.
[Intro]
C Am G F
[Verse 1]
C
Every single day is a ballet in the streets
Am
and everyone's a dancer light and lively on their feet
G F
twinkle toes all stand in rows where roads and sidewalks meet and then they leap,
C
how they leap!
C
To symphonies of crashes all brash and harsh and loud, they make the
Am
the city seems a place where sleeping simply ain't allowed,
G
And when the day is over and those heads are hanging down,
G
eyelids heavy all around, dreams falling from the clouds,
F C
you hear a most peaceful and beautiful sound
Dm Am
as the city heaves a sigh
E F
hear it start to softly sing itself that concrete lullaby,
C G C
and it's: sleep little city do not cry.
[Bridge]
C Dm E Am F C G C
[Verse 2]
C
Glass and concrete canyons, never abandoned
Am
all gleaming with the lights of those who live the light demanding
G F
when the electric lights drive off the night they are still standing strong
C
weary and strong
C
and now feet pound on the ground downtown and rhythm of that step
Am
is the living city's heartbeat and the breath inside its heaving chest
G
when the sun again sinks below buildings in the west,
G
we cease our work and seek our peace
F C
our solemn souls to rest, in the comforting cradle of the city's sooted breast.
Dm Am
And feel the city heave a sigh,
E Am
hear it start to softly sing itself that concrete lullaby,
C G C
and it's sweet little city do not cry.
[Bridge and finish]
