(capo 5)

[Gadd9] Boarded an eastbound train
[Cadd9] In South Bend, Indiana,
[Gadd9] Near the golden dome of Notre [D/F#] Dame.
[Gadd9] We passed the southern beaches
[Cadd9] of Lake Michigan in [Gadd9] June.
Carved from glaciers long [D/F#] ago.
[Gadd9] There were sleeping children
[Cadd9] Near the Mohawk River.
[Gadd9] And, stars above the great ca-[D/F#]nal.
[Cadd9] I’ve hauled some barges in my [D/F#] day.
Know every inch along the [Cadd9] way.
There was nothing you could [D/F#] say.

Chorus:
[Gadd9] So, rock-a-bye now don’t you cry.
[Cadd9] I’m gonna sing you a lullaby.
[Gadd9] * The Dream Man’s coming in his train of cars
[Cadd9] With moonbeam windows and with wheels of stars.
[Gadd9] So, hush you little ones and have no fear
.
[Cadd9] The man-in-the-moon is the engineer.
[Gadd9] The railroad track is a moonbeam bright
[D/F#] That leads right up into the starry night.

[Gadd9] New York’s narrow lakes
[Cadd9] Look like fingers on a [Gadd9] hand.
When the ice retreated, there were [D/F#] deep scars upon the land.
[Gadd9] Took a deep breath when we crossed the state line.
[Cadd9] The night porter left a bottle of wine.
[Gadd9] Waved from my window to the [D/F#] pines.
[Gadd9] We road through the Berkshires in the early hours.
[Cadd9] And, if I were a painter I would paint those flowers
[Gadd9] in Cadmium Yellow and Phthalo [D/F#] Blue.
[Cadd9] But colors run and flowers fade.
[D/F#] And, clouds roll in and cast a shade
[Cadd9] Best call it an even [D/F#] trade.

Chorus

[Gadd9] [Cadd9] [Gadd9] [D/F#]

[Gadd9] The wise Algonquin nation
[Cadd9] Kept track of the seasons.
[Gadd9] They gave each moon a [D/F#] name.
[Gadd9] Inching towards the railway station
[Cadd9] Minutes from our destination.
[Gadd9] Seven hundred miles from where we [D/F#] came.
[Gadd9] Time moves not by months but moons.
[Cadd9] Strawberry is the one for June.
[Gadd9] Hidden treasures tangled in the [D/F#] ground.
[Cadd9] Harvest in the silver light.
[D/F#] We made our journey through the night.
[Cadd9] Rocking on the rails so safe and [D/F#] sound.

Chorus:
[Gadd9] So, rock-a-bye now don’t you cry.
[Cadd9] I’m gonna sing you a lullaby.
[Gadd9] * The Dream Man’s coming in his train of cars
[Cadd9] With moonbeam windows and with wheels of stars.
[Gadd9] So, hush you little ones and have no fear
.
[Cadd9] The man-in-the-moon is the engineer.
[Gadd9] The railroad track is a moonbeam bright
[D/F#] That leads right up into the starry night.
[Gadd9] So, rock-a-bye now don’t you cry.
[Cadd9] I’m gonna sing you a lullaby.
Repeat last two lines over and over

* Nursery rhyme by R.P. Weston, F.J. Barnes, and Maurice Scott, 1913 - "Hush, Here Comes the Dream Man"
