Melanie – Baby Day (Ukulele)

[Like the song? Buy the album! "Gather Me" by the spectacular Melanie Safka!]

A
Why sleep when the day has been called out by the sun

F#m
From the night 'cause the light's gonna shine on everyone

A
Why sleep when the sleep only closes up our eyes

F#m                     D               A
Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise

A
We were meant to see the beginning of the day

                        E       A
I believe it was planned to lift us this way

D                       A       D
Take you an apple and take you a song

A               E       A
And watch a baby day be born

D                       A       D
Take you an apple and take you a song

A               E       A
And watch a baby day be born

Quite quite, said I that's all very well to say But I rose before the dawn to your singing yesterday I couldn't see the rising 'cause the dark was in my sky I couldn't see the sun 'cause the sun was in my eye Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Why sleep, I heard and I followed it today To the top of the hill where the wind songs play And I sing it like I heard it Why I heard it who knows why? Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise We were meant to see the beginning of the day I believe it was planned to lift us this way Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Take back an answer to something gone wrong Take back some music and take me along And watch a baby day be born Watch a baby day be born [Continues in a sensible fashion, alternating the two patterns. At least that's how I play it! -surround5000/ surroundsound5000]
