Sleep Australia Sleep Chords & Lyrics - Paul Kelly (australia)

[INTRO]
[C] [C] [C] [C]

[VERSE 1]
[C]Sleep, Australia, sleep
[C]The [F]night is on the [C]creep
[C]Shut out the noise all a[G]round
[C]Sleep, Australia, sleep
[C]And [F]dream of counting [C]sheep
[C]Jumping in [G]fields coloured [C]brown

[CHORUS]
[F]Who'll rock the cradle and [C]cry?
[Am]Who'll rock the cradle and [G]cry?
[C]Sleep, Australia, sleep
[C]As off the [F]cliff the kingdoms [C]leap
[C]Count them as [G]they say goodb[C]ye

[VERSE 2]
[F]Count down the little things
[C]The insects and birds
[Am]Count down the bigger things
[Dm]The flocks and the herds
[F]Count down our rivers
[C]Our pastures and trees
[Am]But there's no need to hurry
[Dm]Oh, sleep now, don't worry
[C/G]'Coz it's only a matter of [G]degrees

[BRIDGE]
[C]Fog, Australia, fog
[C]Just [F]like the boiling [C]frog
[C]As we go we [G]won't feel a [C]thing

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [F] [C] [C] [G] [G]
[C] [F] [C] [C] [G] [C]

[CHORUS]
[F]Who'll rock the cradle and [C]cry?
[Am]Who'll rock the cradle and [G]cry?
[C]Sleep, my country, sleep
[C]As off the [F]cliff the kingdoms [C]leap
[C]Count them as [G]they pass on b[C]y

[VERSE 3]
[F]Our children might know them
[C]But their children will not
[Am]We won't know 'til it's gone
[Am]All the [Dm]glory we've got
[F]But there are more wonders coming
[C]All new kinds of shows
[Am]With acid seas rising
[C]To kiss coastal mountains
[Am]Big cyclones pounding
[C]And firestorms devouring
[Am]And we'll lose track of counting
[C]As the corpses keep mounting
[C]But [Am]hey, that's just the way this old world [G]goes

[OUTRO]
[C]Sleep, my country, sleep
[C]As we [F]sow so shall we [C]reap
[C]Who'll rock the [G]cradle and [C]cry?
