http://www.myspace.com/johnxlewis Apologies for the string squeaks. Brand new strings will do that. I wrote this a week ago during a quiet moment at work. It's in an open D tuning for those of you trying to work it out. A Lullaby for troubled times -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The day has passed, it's now tonight Tomorrow will come, no need to fight The tiredness you feel inside From the broken world that makes you cry Yesterday has flown its flight The time will come to show your pride To stand up tall like armoured knights And show the wrong you've learnt what's right I'll be hiding from the world outside Singing lullabies for troubled times Sleep now, don't you try To stay awake and work out why The man with hate filled eyes Feels he should terrify Those who do not subscribe To his way of life Close your weary eyes Dream of love tonight I'll be hiding from the world outside Singing lullabies for troubled times Dream of when we met Before the world was scared In years from here We won't remember fear guitar chords -=-=-=-=- guitar tuned to an open D chord D A D F# A D listen for the finger picking and hammer-ons intro and verse 0 12 0 12 0 0 0 7 0 7 0 0 0 5 0 5 0 0 0 7 0 7 0 0 0 5 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 x2 0 2 0 1 0 0 0 4 0 3 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 0 4 0 3 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 x2 chorus x 0 2 2 0 0 x 0 0 0 0 0 x 0 2 2 0 0 x 0 2 3 0 0 x 0 2 2 0 0 x 0 0 0 0 0 x2 ending 0 12 0 12 0 0 0 11 0 10 0 0 0 10 0 10 0 0 0 9 0 8 0 0 x2 0 16 0 15 0 0 0 14 0 13 0 0 0 12 0 12 0 0 0 11 0 10 0 0 0 10 0 10 0 0 0 9 0 8 0 0 x 3

It's amazing how I can go from Love Two Point Oh, smiling, and listen to something so incredibly different from that and still be enjoying myself at least as much if not more. That is a really gorgeous song. Making my mother listen to it she started to tear up. And in a good way, I promise you. It's stuff like this that keeps me coming back to YouTube.

This is such a beautiful song. Just like cloudismyhero, I had the same reaction. Love Two Point Oh made me sing along and so did this. I actually started to tear up listening to this. I would really, really like to have this on my ipod, any chance at all I can download this from a website? Thank you so much, please, keep on writing.
