CAPO 2nd FRET IN 4/4

A

Go to sleep my baby,  It’s gonna be all right. Evening is so hot on the 7th floor tonight.

D                                                                  A    E7                            BM                           A

The stars beam down on the downtown sky. I will remember passing your dying eyes.

A

I can hear them down the hall, as the telephone it  rings.

A

Whispering and shaking with the sad sad news they bring.

D                                                         A    E7                         BM                            A

I will sit down here by the frozen sky.  I will remember passing your dying eyes.

 

SOLO:

A  

I tucked you in the ground with the man that you love.

A

Maybe I’ll come and see you , wipe the snow off from above.

D                                                             A

And with my tattoo, you can hear my lies.

E7                           BM

I still remember passing your dying eyes.

 

REPEAT  SOLO:

 

A

Go to sleep my baby, It’s gonna be all right. Evening is so hot on the 7th floor tonight.

D                                                                  A    E7                            BM                         A

The stars beam down on the downtown sky. I will remember passing your dying eyes.
