Lullaby For Francis by Ian Dury And The Blockheads





       Lullaby For Francis





Intro:

E  F#m  D (x3)

Verse 1:

      A          E
Go to sleep now, Francies,
                                 A
You've done all you can with the day.
Safe and sound now,
                             E
Safe and sound now; that's a promise,
                               A    Abm
You'll be welcome in the milky way.

Chorus 1:

F#m
 Tumble down, tired and true,
B7                    D          E
 Spirit to restore; a balance is due.

      A          D
Go to sleep now, Francies,
E           A
 Close your eyes.

Verse 2:

A                                E
 Hang your thoughts up, shut the index,
                          A
It's time to impose a cur-few.
                            E
And you'll get up fresh and ready,
                                 A   Abm
With a hundred and one things to do.

Chorus 2:

F#m
 Drowsy now; here comes a space,
B7 (n.C)            D       E
 Call a halt to the steeple chase.

      A      D
Go to sleep, Francies,
E           A
 Close your eyes.

Bridge 1:

        D
If your life or some old lover,
E          A
 Cause con-cern,
   D       E      A
Or puzzle, or per-turb.

    D
The more you discover;
    C#7      F#m
The more you learn.

      B7
Go to sleep now...
D          E       A
 Please do not dis-turb.

Interlude:

A  E (x2) A, Abm

Chorus 3:

F#m
 Tumble down, tired and true,
B7                    D          E
 Spirit to restore; a balance is due.

      A          D
Go to sleep now, Francies,
E           A
 Close your eyes.
