[Intro]

C  G Am  F  
C    Am  F
 
 
[Verse]

G                     F C
Stop now and halt the wagons
C
It's too much for me to bear
   G           F
To see my baby sleeping
                  C
In the cart lying there
C
Oh, take me Lord and keep me
                      G
Please don't leave me here
                  F
For I cannot keep breathing
         G      C
He's all I held dear
 
 
[Chorus]

                    G
Oh, hush now, don't cry
       F            C
As you hear my lullaby
                G
Hush now, don't cry
       F            C  G  Am  F
As you hear my lullaby
 
 
[Verse]

         G          
From the black horse 
          F
there was silence
C                      G
As the storm raged up above
                     F  C
So desperate was the tempest
   F             G C
To steal the one I love
           F         C
Oh, nature sick with vengeance
                   G
As we carve up her tongue
                 C    F C
Tiny arms around each other
    F         C
Her work here done
 
 
[Chorus]

                    G
Oh, hush now, don't cry
       F            C
As you hear my lullaby
                G
Hush now, don't cry
       F            C
As you hear my lullaby
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse]

G                F
Children are the future
    C
And children are a gift
              G         
But these are children of 
    F
the darkness
                   C
With a twelve-hour shift
C
So take him Lord, be gentle
                      G
With his tired, weary bones
                        F   C
Now I'm a mother of the darkness
      F     G    C
He'll never come home
 
 
[Verse]

       G               F C
Oh, we do not mine for riches
                        G
And we do not mine from love
              C        F    C
But merely to keep the food on
    F       C
Our tables above
               F  C
So I'll dry up my tears now
                    G
Keep his soul in my heart
                F C
And call up the wagons
       F          G   C
So the next shift can start
 
 
[Chorus]
                    G
Oh, hush now, don't cry
       F            C   D
As you hear my lullaby
C               G
Hush now, don't cry
       F       G    Am
As you hear my lullaby
       F       G    C
Please hear my lullaby
 
 
[Outro]

G       F        
Hear my lullaby, 
G       C
hear my lullaby
G       F        
Hear my lullaby, 
G       C
hear my lullaby
G       F        
Hear my lullaby, 
G       C
hear my lullaby
G       F        
Hear my lullaby, 
G       C
hear my lullaby
