[Intro]
Am D G Em
Bm B Em Am D
G Em D C D
G B Em F Dsus4 D
[Verse 1]
G Em
I wonder how my world can live
C D
With all the hate she harbors.
G Em Am D
(Sleep, my weary world.)
G Em
And I'm scared of how long it may last,
C Am D
And just how soon it all may end,
G Em D
And I wish the power to stop it all
C D G
Could rest within my hands.
[Verse 2]
G Em
I've seen her people dying for
C D
Such bold and bloody causes.
G Em Am D
(Sleep, my weary world.)
G Em
And the bodies of the innocent
C D
Just wash up on the length'ning shore
G Em D
While the rising tide of history
C D G C G D
Just ebbs and flows again.
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
Oh, make me a cradle to rock my weary world.
G Em
Make me a gentle voice,
Am C D
To soothe her when she weeps.
G Em
Make my arms strong enough
Bm C D
To hold her when she wakes,
C D G D Em D
And make me a lullaby so sweet and fine
C D C G
That I can sing my weary world to sleep.
[Verse 3]
G Em D
I wish that I could soothe away
C D
Her jagged shards of hatred.
G Em Am D
(Sleep, my weary world.)
G Em
And though my hands may bleed and burn,
C D
I'll hold my broken world to me
G Em D
Until her ugly scars are healed,
C D G C G D
And peace may reign at last.
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
Oh, make me a cradle to rock my weary world.
G Em
Make me a gentle voice,
Am C D
To soothe her when she weeps.
G Em
Make my arms strong enough
Bm C D
To hold her when she wakes,
C D G D Em D
And make me a lullaby so sweet and fine
C D C G
That I can sing my weary world to sleep.
[Bridge]
Am D
If her fighting will not stop,
G Em
Then I'll hold her that much closer
Bm B7 Em Am D
And sing my lullaby above the noise and pain of war.
Am D
And if her bleeding I can't staunch,
G Em
I'll bleed along beside her.
Am A#dim
But I will not let her go,
B Cm Bdim
No, I'll never let her go.
[Interlude]
Em Bm C B Am Dm D
[Verse 4]
G Em D
When the stars have all burned out,
C D
I'll sing to her in darkness.
G Em Am D
(Sleep, my weary world.)
G Em
And I pray a tender God may find me,
C Am D
Huddled in the dark and cold,
G Em D
And grant the weary world I shelter
C D G
One more chance to live.
G D C
May God grant my precious world
D G C G D
Another chance to live.
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
Oh, make me a cradle to rock my weary world.
G Em
Make me a gentle voice,
Am C D
To soothe her when she weeps.
G Em
Make my arms strong enough
Bm C D
To hold her when she wakes,
C D G D Em D
And make me a lullaby so sweet and fine
C D C G
That I can sing my weary world to sleep.
C D G D Em D
Make me a lullaby so sweet and fine
C D C G
That I can sing my weary world to sleep.
