E9
   Oo, little sleepy boy do you know what time it is?

                                            Amaj7
Well, the hour of your bedtime's long been past

    D7sus2              E
And though I know you're fighting it

      F#m           B/F#     E
I can tell when you rub your eyes

       F#m    A               E9
You're fading fast, oh fading fast
[Chorus]
E9
Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet roll across the skies

                                      Amaj7
And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake

  D7sus2         E             F#m     B/F#    E         F#m  A
I long to see St. Judy's Comet sparkle in your eyes when you awake

Oh, when you wake, wake

Amaj7                          D7sus2                    E9
    Little boy, little boy     Won't you lay your body down

Amaj7                             D7sus2                        E9
      Little boy, little boy     Won't you close your weary eyes

G#+5               G#              C#m  Cm  Bm  Bbm  A
     Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies
[Verse]
E9
Well, I sang it once and I sang it twice

E9
I'm going to sing it three times more

E9                                      Amaj7
I'm going to stay 'til your resistance is overcome

          Am6             G#7#9
'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep

         F#m        B/F#   E     F#m     A          E9
Well, it makes your famous daddy look so dumb, look so dumb
[Chorus]
E9
Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet roll across the skies

   Am6            G#7#9        F#m     B/F#    E              A
I long to see St. Judy's Comet sparkle in your eyes when you awake

             E9
Oh, when you wake, wake

Amaj7                          D7sus2                    E9
    Little boy, little boy     Won't you lay your body down

Amaj7                            Am6       G#7#9              E9
