LULLABY
Intro
right hand muting across bridge.
Verse 1 :
Right hand muting integral throughout verses on most every chord.
() = this chord barely suggested in verses.
She grew up with the children of the stars
In the holl y wood hills and the boulevard
Her parents threw big parties everyone was there
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper, & Bob Seeger, & Sonny and Cher
Pre-Verse
(Hit it hard! Strong root and 5th of chords: let upper notes ring.)
------------------ --------------- ----------------
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
(same as verse 1)
She feels safe now in this bar on fairfax
And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go she can't relax
And just before she hangs her head to cry,
I sing to her. . . . a lulla-by
(Hit it hard! Strong root and 5th of chords:)
(I sing) Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rock a bye
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rock a bye …. Rock a bye
Instrumental
(Softly)
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
(same as before)
She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty
But she'd be so much prettier if she smiled once in a while
Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share on devils in this angel town
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rock a bye
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rock a bye …. Rock a bye
Guitar SOLO with power chord variation:
------ ---------
-------
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
(same as before w/ variation on 4th line)
I told her I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face
It seems like everybody's got a plan
It's kind of like Nashville with a tan
Repeated Chorus to Coda:
(much softer )
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rock a bye
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
To Rockabye, Rock a bye …. Ah, na, na…
Repeat to coda....
