Intro: Am  D  G  Em  C  D  Em

[Verse 1]
Am            D   G         Em
Have you ever seen a bloody egg?
Am       D      Em
Glass in hand, lying up in bed?
Am                 D         G        Em
That's the time to sing this cowardly lullaby
Am      D             B7
And you ought to know why

[Chorus]
Am          D          G       Em
Lullabye to nightmares whisper low
Am     D           G         Em
In the night where bat wings flow
Am           D       G           Em
That's where all the frightmares go
Am       D         B7
When the elephants die
Am           D       Em
Wouldn't you like to try?

[3x]:
   Ba ba ba ba ba
Am             D   

(Then D every 8th beat, 1 measure; second measure with D on only first beat 1/8 rhythm)

[Verse 2]
Have you ever heard the blackbird's song?
Summer days all summer long
Underneath the shady tree a shadow sitting next to me
And we stare at the sun.

[Chorus]
Lullabye to nightmares whisper low
In the night where bat wings flow
That's where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die
Wouldn't you like to try?
