Sir Rockaby

Sir Rockaby - Frank Black

This is how Frank Black plays it on his own with no band.

Use bar chords throughout

open C (strum once then put little finger on B string, third fret,

strum then take the finger off and strum again)

You got a sad face, you don't show it

G G# C(see bottom)

And you're smiling it too

Even in deep, deep outer space

There's something for you

I'm Sir Rockaby

G, C

And rockin' I am

I'm Sir Rockaby

G, C

And rockin' I am

Play same chords as for first verse throughout second

and third verses.

The world is a rock that's spinning so fast

It'll give you jim-jams

I'm just a real love diplomat

Won't give you no flim-flams

I'm Sir Rockaby

And rockin' I am

I'm Sir Rockaby

And rockin' I am

How many stars girl can you both count and then classify?

I'm standing here in this big swirll

Singing this lullaby

I'm Sir Rockaby

And rockin' I am

I'm Sir Rockaby

And rockin' I am

For the C chord through nearly all of the song do something
