After Giant by Stan Rogers
Bright | G stars | twinkle calmly and | Dm7 clouds | drift like fleece. |
The | G still | of the evening bears | C pro | mise of peace. |
But you | Bb know | any moment that | G still | ness will | C cease | : |
The | Bb ba | by will | F rise | with the | G moon | ! |
’Twas the | G same | ancient curse, by which | Dm7 we | have been stung, |
That our | G mo | thers wished on us | C when | we were young. |
It’s the | Bb/D wailing | demand of a | G shrill | newborn | C tongue | . |
The | Bb ba | by will | F rise | with the | G moon | ! |
Chorus: |
|
When | G par | ents collapse at the | Dm7 end | of the day, |
They | G seek | after sleep as the | C night | slips away, |
Re | Bb mem | bering feeding time’s | G not | far a | C way | . |
The | Bb ba | by will | F rise | with the | G moon | ! |
With the | G ad | vent of Playtex and the | Dm7 nip | ples they sell, |
It | G falls | upon fathers to | C ans | wer that yell. |
Bb Light | the stove! Fill the bottle, and | G warm | the milk | C well | ! |
The | Bb ba | by will | F rise | with the | G moon | ! |
(Chorus)
