---------------------------------------------------------

      Tabbed by:PJVillanueva







Daddy's baby, what's got you thinking?
What's got you sinking so low?
Is there something I should know,
something new to you?

Daddy's baby fussing and fretting,
keeping on getting it wrong.
She can only last so long
She's going for a song
So sing her a lullaby-bye bye,
Baby don't like to cry.
So sing her a lullaby-bye bye,
Swaddle and swing her.
Sing her a lullaby.

She makes her feelings known to me
Her every side is shown to me.
And in our time alone
my love has surely grown of its own.
Silent as a stepping stone,
silently as the dawn was breaking
soft and clear and my tears were dry
and my fears had flown so I called my love my home.






      Use a capo on the 1st fret
