Hi! Some of this may be inaccurate considering I'm self taught, but a friend asked me to tab this
for them so hear I am. I'm only 16, go easy on me!
 
The (000130) is a chord that I don't know the name of but I believe it sounds correct. I'm sure it is a
variation of a D but I don't know what it is called.
 
I love this song, I hope you enjoy playing it for yourself, but sing it for your mother as well!

[Verse]
D
A little baby told God,
    A               Bm
Hey I'm kinda scared, don't really know if
        F#m              G
I wanna go down there,
                                  D
Because from here it looks like a little blue ball
             (000130)            A            A7  D
But that's a great big place and I'm so small
 
D                A
Why can't I just stay here with you?
      Bm                      F#m                G
Did I make you mad, don't you want me, too?'
                            D
And God said, 'Oh child, of course I do,
            (000130)                A                  D
But there's somebody special that's waiting for you.
 
[Chorus]
D                 A
So hush now baby, don't you cry
            G                                D                    A
Cuz there's someone out there waiting, whose only goal in life
D                                  G          D Em
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
               Bm                       G
A loving angel tender tough and strong
     Em             A                D        A
It's almost time to go and meet your mom
 
[Bridge]
    Bm
Now when she's talking to you
     G
Make sure you listen close
          Em              A                      D
Cuz she's gonna teach you everything you'll ever need to know
 
     Bm
Like how to mind your manners
   G
To love and laugh and dream
           Em
And she'll put you on the path
          A                    A7
That will bring you back to me
 
[Chorus]
D                 A
So hush now baby, don't you cry
            G                                D                    A
Cuz there's someone out there waiting, whose only goal in life
D                                  G          D Em
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
               Bm                       G
A loving angel tender tough and strong
     Em             A                D        A
It's almost time to go and meet your mom
 
Have fun playing!

Your 000310 should be an Em. D (thumb 2nd Fret on low E) Because from here it looks like a little blue ball Em (open D sting) A D But that's a great big place and I'm so small Then on the chorus: D D#/F G So hush now baby, don't you cry A D A Cuz there's someone out there waiting, whose only goal in life Where D#/F is 2x0232 (though you don't have to muffle the A for it to sound right).

Any chance that I can get you to post the tab? I love this song and it has become my unborn baby girls song that I sing every night to her, but I want to learn to play it on the guitar. I am partially deaf, so I am not able to make out what strings he is playing during the song. I know the chords, but I really just want to learn how to play it. It would mean a lot to me.

sorry pal. There are a bunch of chord errors in it. Give it another close listen. There are a few inverted D/F# chords in the verses and choruses. practice makes perfect bud! keep practicing and thx for your contribution
