[Verse 1]
 
D         C                G
Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Bb               F      Fm       Gsus4   G
Peals of fragile thunder keeping time
  Bb       Bbm       Ebmaj7       Cm    G    Gsus4 G
Recall the days that still are to come, some sing  blue.
 
D         C                   G
Hang your heart on a laughing willow
Bb                F     Fm           Gsus4   G
Stray down to the water, deep sea of love
  Bb        Bbm        Ebmaj7      Cm  G   Gsus4  G
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea swift undertow.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Fm               Eaug   Ab            Eb
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know,
Fm          Ab          Eb       Cm/G   G7
See how it feels in the end.
Ab       Adim7        Ebmaj7
May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you
Dmaj7  Dbmaj7  Db7    Dbmaj7 Gsus4    G
 Soft, strong, sweet  and    true.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D           C               G
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow
Bb             F      Fm          Gsus4   G
Tapping at the window, touch your hair
Bb           Bbm            Ebmaj7      Cm   G  Gsus4  G
So swift and bright strange figures of light float  in air.
 
D       C                 G
Who can stop what must arrive now?
Bb               F       Fm      Gsus4   G
Something new is waiting  to be born
Bb          Bbm          Ebmaj7      Cm   G  Gsus4  G
Dark as the night you're still by my side shine   inside.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Fm                      Ab           Eb
Gone are the days    we stopped to decide
Fm              Ab          Eb       Cm/G   G7
Where we should go, we just ride.
Ab           Adim7          Ebmaj7
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams
Dmaj7  Dbmaj7 Db7   Dbmaj7 Gsus4    G
 Gone, both   dream and    lie.

[Chorus]
 
Fm                      Ab            Eb
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know,
Fm            Ab           Eb       Cm/G   G7
Feels like it might be all right,
Ab         Adim7         Ebmaj7
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly through you
Dmaj7  Dbmaj7 Db7 Dbmaj7 Gsus4    G
 Love  still  rings      true.
 
D        C         G
Midnight on a carousel ride
Bb               F        Fm      Gsus4   G
Reaching for the gold ring down inside
Bb          Bbm       Ebmaj7      Cm        G  Gsus4  G
Never could reach it, just slips away but I try.

In the chorus there’s a missing chord (I think) after the first Fm before the Ab. It’s an E augmented. It’s very brief and it occurs on the we of “we stopped” but it only happens after the first Fmin. The second time the Fm and Ab come around it doesn’t occur. At first I thought it was an Fmin/maj7 ( which would F,Ab, C, E) but I am pretty sure it’s an E aug (E, G#, C). I use 2 Es. One on the top and 1 on the bottom with the Ab and the C notes in between.
