Norse Lullaby Uke tab by Eugene Field

C                        F         G

The sky is dark and the hills are white

         G           F            C
Am
and the storm King speeds to the north tonight

     C           F        G          D
and this is the song the storm King sings

    D5                  C       F
As over the world his cloak he flings

F       C6     G          C
"Sleep, sleep, little one sleep"

   C           Am        F       G
He rustles his wings and gruffly sings,

C       G           C
"Sleep, little one, sleep"




   C               F
On yonder mountain side a vine

G         Dm           C      Am
Creeps up close to the mother pine

    C          F         C        G
The tree bends o're the trembling thing,

   D5                C        Am
So only the vine can hear her sing

F       C      G           C
"Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep"

C              Am        F    G
What shall you fear when I am here?

C       G           C
"Sleep, little one, sleep"




    C        F           G       D5
The king may sing in his bitter flight

    G        D5           C    G
The tree may croon to the vine tonight

         C      F        C      G
But the little snowflake on my breast

D5        G      C        Am
Likes the song I sing the best

F        C     G           C
"Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep"

C         Am   F        G
Weary art thou anext my heart

C       G           C
"Sleep, little one, sleep"
