            [Intro]
C C C C


[Verse 1]
C
Sleep, Australia, sleep
C   F               C
The night is on the creep
C                       G
Shut out the noise all around
C
Sleep, Australia, sleep
C   F                 C
And dream of counting sheep
C          G               C
Jumping in fields coloured brown


[Chorus]
F                          C
Who'll rock the cradle and cry?
Am                         G
Who'll rock the cradle and cry?
C
Sleep, Australia, sleep
C          F                  C
As off the cliff the kingdoms leap
C             G             C
Count them as they say goodbye


[Verse 2]
F
Count down the little things
C
The insects and birds
Am
Count down the bigger things
Dm
The flocks and the herds
F
Count down our rivers
C
Our pastures and trees
Am
But there's no need to hurry
Dm
Oh, sleep now, don't worry
F                              G
'Coz it's only a matter of degrees


[Bridge]
C
Fog, Australia, fog
C    F                C
Just like the boiling frog
C           G            C
As we go we won't feel a thing


[Instrumental]
C F C   C G G
C F C   C G C


[Chorus]
F                          C
Who'll rock the cradle and cry?
Am                         G
Who'll rock the cradle and cry?
C
Sleep, my country, sleep
C          F                  C
As off the cliff the kingdoms leap
C             G             C
Count them as they pass on by


[Verse 3]
F
Our children might know them
C
But their children will not
Am
We won't know 'til it's gone
Am      Dm
All the glory we've got
F
But there are more wonders coming
C
All new kinds of shows
Am
With acid seas rising
C
To kiss coastal mountains
Am
Big cyclones pounding
C
And firestorms devouring
Am
And we'll lose track of counting
C
As the corpses keep mounting
C   Am                                      G
But hey, that's just the way this old world goes


[Outro]
C
Sleep, my country, sleep
C     F               C
As we sow so shall we reap
C               G          C
Who'll rock the cradle and cry?
