C                 G                  Am
You were loved before you had arrived
                    F                  C
And every day that love just multiplies
                 G                  Am
Daddy made your bed and your lullaby
                    F               C
And Mumma made the mobile in the sky
            G         Am
And loving you is easy
               F           C
But life will not always be
               G                Am
Fall into the world of your song
    F
Whatever you feel can never be wrong

Dm     F    C
Come along for the ride
                                          Dm
And in the shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
           F             C
Yeah, be still now and close your eyes

Chorus:
      C  G
And dream
                     Am      F
Hanging out with the sandman
              C             G
You look so sweet, my child
                     Am      F
Hanging out with the sandman
                    C                       G
And though there's rain outside, you'll be warm and dry
     Am                              F
The thunder and the lightning won't hurt you now
           C           G
So go to sleep, my love
                      Am    F
Hanging out with the sandman

Chocolate-covered roof and candy cars
Rainbow sugar river we can sail upon
Marshmallow books and strawberries
Snowmen made of ice cream
Over the flower fields, we'll fly
We'll count the fish in the sky
Honeybees and birds sing your song
Whatever you feel can never be wrong

Come along for the ride
And in the shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
Yeah, be still now and close your eyes

Chorus

Come along for the ride
And in the shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
Yeah, be still now and close your eyes

Chorus

                            C     G
We're hanging out with the sandman
                            Am    F
We're hanging out with the sandman
                            C
We're hanging out with the sandman
