                                                      (Lost in a lullaby...)

I'm not sure if these chords are 100% accurate as the guitar is quite quiet,
but its goo enough.

Em
Lost in a lullaby
Am
Side of the road
Em
Melt in a memory
Am
Slide into solitude
C
Not till I can read by the moon
Em
I'm not going anywhere
         C                   Bm
Not till I can read by the moon

Cigarette holes for every lost soul

To give up the ghost in this place

Give me strength

Give me hope
C
Give me strength
