G#m
[Verse]
I will dress your eyelids
With dimes upon your eyes
Lay you close to water
Green your grave will rise
[Chorus]
F#
Go to sleep little ugly
G#m
Go to sleep you little fool
F#
Forty-winking in the belfry
E F#
You'll not feel the drowning
E F# G G#m
You'll not feel the drowning
[Verse 2]
Forget you once had sweethearts
They've forgotten you
Think you not on parents
They've forgotten too
[Chorus 2]
F#
Go to sleep now little ugly
G#m
Go to sleep now you little fool
F#
Forty-winking in the belfry
E F#
You'll not feel the drowning
E F# G G#m
You'll not feel the drowning
[Interlude]
G#m
[Chorus 3]
F#
Go to sleep now little ugly
G#m
Go to sleep now you little fool
F#
Forty-winking in the belfry
E F#
You'll not feel the drowning
E F# G G#m
You'll not feel the drowning
[Verse 3]
Hear you now the captain
Heed his sorrowed cry
"Weight upon your eyelids
B
As dimes laid on your eyes"
