Lullaby by Matt Costa (from the Elasmosaurus EP and the Curious George Soundtrack )

Tabbed by Darrin Roberts 

I don’t know the finger picking, and there is room for correction  here,

but this sounds good so far, although I’m a little unsure of the end.

edit: I (Darrin) realized after watching that Matt plays it with capo on 1 and a C F  Bb G thing…

I can transpose but I’m sure after you post that someone will point out mine is a transpose of what he actually plays…

Standard tuning, Capo on the fourth fret.  Chords relative to capo….

A                    A
When you’re so lonely lying in bed
D                            G
Night’s closed its eyes but you can’t rest your head
A                    A
Everyone’s sleeping all through the house
D                            G
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow

E                A
Sing this lullaby to yourself
G                A
Sing this lullaby to yourself

A                    A
And if you are waiting, waiting for me
D                            G
Know I’ll be home soon darling I guarantee
A                    A
I’ll be home Sunday just in one week
D                    G
Dry up your tears if you start to weep

A                        A
Cause when I arrive dear it won’t be that long
D                            G
No it won’t seem like anytime that I’ve been gone
A                    A
It ain’t the first time it won’t be the last
(help me out with this part??)
        D?                        F#m        D#5(barred)        D5(barred)
Won’t you remember these words to help the     time             pass?

A                    A
So when you’re so lonely lying in bed
D                            G
Night’s closed its eyes but you can’t rest your head
