Em    D          G
Sleep well sweet child
     Em      D          C
I am here to watch your dreams
Em    D    G
Don’t be afraid
          Em        D          C
The moon above just gleams for you
      Em   D            C      G    D
Don’t mind the wolf, he is not near
Em     C             G         D
He’s a friend of the night, my dear
Em   D                 C      G     D
Hush don’t you cry, he is not near
Em     C              G         D
We are friends of the night, my dear

[Verse 1]
      Em
And I run and I hide in the dark
Em                 D
Threatened by each distant bark
Em                     D        Em
Sleep little love, for heaven’s sake
Am            Em               D               C
It’s not your fault; it’s your cruel, ruthless fate
Am            Em               D               C
It’s not your fault; it’s your cruel, ruthless fate

[Bridge]
Em          D
Prophecy of the old age
      A        Am     Em    D
Still sounding out my son’s decline
Em               D
He is the one to free us from the tyrant
     A         Am          Em       D
So I flee from bloodhounds eager to kill

[Chorus]
           Em    D          G
And I sing sleep well sweet child
     Em      D          C
I am here to watch your dreams
Em    D    G
Don’t be afraid
          Em        D          C
The moon above just gleams for you
      Em   D            C      G    D
Don’t mind the wolf, he is not near
Em     C             G         D
He’s a friend of the night, my dear
Em   D                 C      G     D
Hush don’t you cry, he is not near
Em     C              G         D
We are friends of the night, my dear

[Verse 2]
           Em
They shall not get my loving child
Em             D
As long as I'm by his side
Em              D         Em
I am the shadow runner in time
Am       Em       D      C
Here and there, never to find
Am       Em       D      C
Here and there, never to find

[Verse 3]
      Em
And I run and I hide in the dark
Em                 D
Threatened by each distant bark
Em                     D        Em
Sleep little love, for heaven’s sake
Am            Em      D           C
Sleep for I'm here to fulfil your fate
Am            Em      D           Em
Sleep for I'm here to fulfil your fate
