_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Ebm] _ Every night before she goes to bed, [B] she tucks her children _ [Gb] _ in, kissing [A] _ _ every one of [E] _ them _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
goodnight. _ _ _ _ _
Holding [Ebm] _ hands and wiping [Bbm] _ tears away, [B] she warms them [Ab] through [Gb] the _ night, but [A] her love that shines [E] so _ bright's too [Dbm] _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] late.
_ [Bb]
So _ [Eb] sleep [Eb] _ _
_ children, sleep a while, [Gb] your mother _ works _ [Bb] away, _ and [Db] your _ [Db] father's gone to play [Ab] _
with [Eb] the other _ _ boys. _ _ _
_ [Bbm] Your mother _ says she [Eb] loves you, but [Ab] she _ just can't get [Gb] _ _ away.
_ [Eb] Your father [Ebm] _
loves [Ab] to be here, and [A] he swears [F] he's on [Bbm] his way, [Fm]
but never [F] fear, _ [Fm] _
I'm [Ebm] here _ [Ab]
for _ [Db] you. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
All [Ebm] those dreams that once [Gb] upon a time, [B] well, they don't [Ab] mean much _ now, [Dbm] locked away _ [A]
inside [E] somehow, _ _ she _ [Abm] _ _ _
knows.

Deep [Ebm] within these walls [Gb] where family _ fails, [Abm] a child cries [Gb] out in pain, she [A] just smiles and takes [E] the blame, _ sleep [Bb] _ _ time.
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
So _ [Eb] sleep _ [Bb] _
children, [Cm] _ sleep [Bb] a while, [Gb] your mother _ works [Ab] _ away, [Db] _
