Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby
    C/E       F        F/E
The world has more for you
F/D F/E     F
    than it seems
    G          G7/F   G6/E Dm7
Goodnight, goodnight
        C         F        G       F    C  (F) C
Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams

[Verse 1]
F  C      F     G
We took a small flight
F      C      F      G
In the middle of the night
F    C   F    G     F  C        F   G
from one tiny place to another

[Verse 2]
F      C       F    G
And my parents they remained
F      C     F    G
At the shack with Lorraine
F      C        F    G     F   C        F   G
and my aunt and my grandpa and brother

[Bridge 1]
Am                 E
We walked past the tarmac
    Am          D
And boarded the craft
    G           G7/F           G6/E  (Em7) (Ebm7) Dm7
the rain had me chilled to the bones

[Verse 3]
F        C     F  G
Just the three of us
F    C      F    G
Took flight that night
F     C        F      G     F    C      F   G
Uncle Richard, me and James Earl Jones

[Bridge 2]
        Am       E
And the pilot he gave me
  Am                D
A blanket while the tall dark man
G       G7/F  G6/E  (Em7) (Ebm7) Dm7
sang to me in deep rich tones...

[Chorus 2]

Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby
