Tom: Am
Am G Am G C G Am G Am
Am G Am G C G Am G Am
[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am G C G
Dreams of peace and freedom
Am G Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby
[Verse]
Am
Once our Valleys were ringing
G
With the sounds of our children singing
Am G C G
Now sheep bleat in the evening
Am G Am
And the sheilings stand empty and broken
[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am G C G
Dreams of peace and freedom
Am G Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby
[Verse]
Am
We stood with our heads bowed in prayer
G
While factors lay our cottages bare
Am G C G
Flames fire clear mountain air
Am G Am
And many were dead in the morning
[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am G C G
Dreams of peace and freedom
Am G Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby
[Verse]
Am
Where stands our proud highland mettle?
G
Our men once so feared in battle
Am G C G
But now they stand huddled like cattle
Am G Am
Soon to be shipped o'er the ocean
[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am G C G
Dreams of peace and freedom
Am G Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby
[Verse]
Am
No use pleading or praying
G
Now gone, gone all hopes of staying
Am G C G
So hush now anchors away
Am G Am
Don't cry in your sleep bonny baby
[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am G C G
Dreams of peace and freedom
Am G Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby
