I'm sorry! 8) I'm only 16. Also... I didn't take into account the timing for the tabs. You will have to listen to the song to get the timing correct. h-hammer on p-pull off Intro: |------------- RIFT 1 --------------| |---- RIFT 2 -----| D Bm G A D Bm G A ||--2--|--2--|--0h2-3-2p0-----------0---|---2--|--2--|----3p2p0-----0----| ||--3--|--3--|--3---0-2p0-3--2---3--2---|---3--|--3--|----3------3--2----| ||--2--|--4--|------------4--2---4------|---2--|--4--|-----------4-------| ||--0--|--4--|--------------------------|---0--|--4--|-------------------| ||-----|--2--|--------------------------|------|--2--|-------------------| ||-----|-----|--------------------------|------|-----|-------------------| D Bm G A |--2--|--2--|--0h2-3-2p0-----------0--|| |--3--|--3--|--3---0-2p0-3--2---3--2--|| |--2--|--4--|------------4--2---4-----|| |--0--|--4--|-------------------------|| |--0--|--4--|-------------------------|| |-----|--2--|-------------------------|| D G A D Asus4 A D The Milky Way upon the heavens |--0---0-------------2---| D G Asus4 A (Bass fill)-> |--3---2-------------3---| is twinkling just for you |--2---2-------------2---| D G Fm Bm |--2---2----------0--0---| and Mr. Moon he came by |--0---0------0h2--------| Em9 A6sus4 A |---------0h2------------| to say goodnight to you D G A D Asus4 A D I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother |--0---0-------------2---| D G Asus4 A (Bass fill)-> |--3---2-------------3---| We're praying for the world |--2---2-------------2---| D G Fm Bm |--2---2----------0--0---| and for the people everywhere |--0---0----2------------| Em9 *G A (*Play Rift2) |------0h2----2p0--------| gonna show them all we care *************************************************** Chorus1: D Bm G A Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild D Bm G A but you've build your own paradise D Bm G A D (Play Rift1) That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child *************************************************** D G A D Asus4 A D If all the people around the world |--0----0-----------2---| D G Asus4 A (Bass fill)-> |--3----2-----------3---| they had a mind like yours |--2----2-----------2---| D G Fm Bm |--2----2-----------0---| we'd have no fighting and no wars |--0----0----2---0------| Em9 A6sus4 A |-------0h2----2--------| there would be lasting peace on Earth D G A D Asus4 A D If all the kings and all the leaders |--0---0--------------2-| D G Asus4 A (Bass fill)-> |--3---2--------------3-| could see you here this way |--2---2--------------2-| D G Fm Bm |--2---2-----------0--0-| they would hold Earth in their arms |--0---0-----0--2-------| Em9 *G A (*Play |------0--2-------------| they would learn to watch you play Rift2) *************************************************** Chorus2: D Bm G A Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild D Bm G A but you've build your own paradise D Bm G A Bm Dsus2/F# G Dsus2 That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child *************************************************** G Bm A C2 Dsus2 A Play fill-> |-----3---2---0-----0---| Im gonna cover my sleeping child |-----3---3-----3---2---| (Keep you away) |---0-----4---------2---| C2 Dsus2 A |---------4---------2---| Keep you away form the world so wild |-2-------2---------0---| G |-3---------------------| Keep you away from the world...
