Chords

After every second "you'll not feel the drowning," you can move your finger from the 3rd fret to the 4th on the low E string for one pluck before starting the next verse to make it sound like the album recording. Chords: Am/C x32210 [Intro] Am Asus2 Am Am/C Am x4 [Verse 1]
Am              C
I will dress your eyelids

Am             C
With dimes upon your eyes

Am              C
Laying close to water

Am                 C
Green your grave will rise
[Chorus]

Go to sleep little ugly

Am
Go to sleep you little fool

Forty-winking in the belfry

You'll not feel the drowning

You'll not feel the drowning
[Verse 2]
Am                    C
Forget you once had sweethearts

They've forgotten you

Am                   C
Think you not on parents

Am                C
They've forgotten too

Go to sleep now little ugly

Go to sleep now you little fool

[Outro]
Am                  C
Hear you now the captain

Am                C
Heed his sorrowed cry

Am                  C
"Weight upon your eyelids

Am                    C
As dimes laid on your eyes"
