Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?
G Cmaj7 G
Cmaj7               G
     And there I was tangled up in merrigold

[Verse 1]
       Cmaj7                                     G
We were     listening to the reverend children singing
Cmaj7
     Hmm, yeah
          G
Humming low as the garden river flows
        Cmaj7                                G
While the    August light becomes a golden evenin',
Cmaj7
     yeah

[Chorus]
                    G                                 Cmaj7
And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way
                     G      Cmaj7
Born to be your protector, mm    
         Dm                                   Cadd9
Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on   your own
                    G
I will be your projector, mm, mhm

[Verse 2]
         G
An apricot picked right off a givin' tree
    Cmaj7
I gave   water to thе soil
              G           Cmaj7
And now it feeds me, yeah,     yeah
And there you are,
G
 shaded underneath it all
 Cmaj7
I     feel proud of who I am

Because you need  me, yeah,  yeah

              G                              Cmaj7 G
There's a long line of hands carryin' your name,  mm
                               Cmaj7
Liftin' you up, so you will be raised

[Chorus]

you're gonna shine on   your own
