Chord/Tab song: Baby Day

(Like the song? Buy the album! "Gather Me" by the spectacular Melanie Safka!)

[A]Why sleep when the day has been called out by the sun
[F#m]From the night 'cause the light's gonna shine on everyone
[A]Why sleep when the sleep only closes up our eyes
[F#m]Why sleep when we can wa[D]tch the sun a-ri[A]se

[A]We were meant to see the beginning of the day
I believe it was planned[E] to lift[A] us this way
[D]Take you an apple and ta[A]ke you a[D] song
[A]And watch a baby[E] day be [A]born
[D]Take you an apple and ta[A]ke you a[D] song
[A]And watch a baby[E] day be [A]born

Quite quite, said I that's all very well to say
But I rose before the dawn to your singing yesterday
I couldn't see the rising 'cause the dark was in my sky
I couldn't see the sun 'cause the sun was in my eye

Take you an apple and take you a song
Watch a baby day be born
Take you an apple and take you a song
Watch a baby day be born

Why sleep, I heard and I followed it today
To the top of the hill where the wind songs play
And I sing it like I heard it
Why I heard it who knows why?
Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise

We were meant to see the beginning of the day
I believe it was planned to lift us this way
Take you an apple and take you a song
Watch a baby day be born
Take you an apple and take you a song
Watch a baby day be born
Take you an apple and take you a song
Watch a baby day be born
Take you an apple and take you a song
Watch a baby day be born

Take you an apple and take you a song
Take back an answer to something gone wrong
Take back some music and take me along
And watch a baby day be born
Watch a baby day be born

(Continues in a sensible fashion, alternating the two patterns. At least that's how I
play it! -surround5000/ surroundsound5000)
