Endless Sleep Acordes

	   
Am 
The night was black, rain fallin' down; 
 
                          E7        Am 
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around. 
 
 
Traced her footsteps down to the shore, 
 
                     E7    Am 
'Fraid she's gone forever more. 
 
    F    
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, 
 
 C 
"I took your baby from you away." 
 
F 
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep, 
 
C                           G        C      C - C/B - Am 
"Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep." 
 
 
 
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight? 
Why did I leave her alone tonight? 
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea , 
That's why my baby has gone from me. 
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, 
"I took your baby from you away." 
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep, 
"Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep." 
 
Ran in the water, heart full of fear, 
There in the breakers I saw her near; 
Reached for my darlin', held her to me, 
Stole her away from the angry sea. 
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, 
"You took your baby from me away." 
My heart cried out, "She's mine to keep." 
I saved my baby from an endless sleep.

||:Endless sleep, endless sleep. :||
