LOVER'S LULLABY  by Townes Van Zandt (as recorded on "The Highway Kind"
===============                                      and mistitled "A Song
For")

[Intro:]  C G F C G C

           C                      G                   F
  The dreams that have flown down the hall
C                               F                C
  The tears that were sown on despair
Am                     C
  Summer turned Fall
           F              C
  It don't matter at all
              Am                    F           C
  When I wake and find you  lying there
              G               F               C
  Sweet silence and soft auburn hair

  Oh, the blues gonna' dance through the sky
  Time's gonna' roll soft as rain
  Sigh after sigh
  Is gonna' pass by and by
  Till I gaze into your brown eyes again
  Awe, love is gonna' fly on the wind

[Bridge:]Am                              C                  F
    C
   And all the things I've seen and the places that I've been
 Am                          C                F              C
   They don't mean a thing since I found you
 Am                      C
   All that matters now
                F                          C
   Since I won your love somehow
                               Am                     F                 Em
 G
   Are these plans that I keep making not to lose you

  So sleep babe till the moon slips away
  I'm hoping all your dreaming comes true
  When you rise with the day
  I might not have too much to say
  But you know that doesn't mean that I don't love you
  Awe, you know that doesn't mean that I don't love you

[Repeat Bridge and 1st Verse]
