about

I have tried to write a song for our granddaughter Tomke for a long, long time. Ah, finally.
Inspired by Tom Russell´s lullaby ‘Little Blue Horse’

lyrics

Song For Tomke Jan Hauenstein

(C) (Em7/B) (Am7) (Fj7) (G)
(C)Ride through the night
On your little blue (F)horse,
Your little blue (Fm)horse,
Of course,
Knows the way through the (C)night.
Al(Em)right? Al(Dm7)right.
(G) Sleep safe through the (C)night. (Em7/B) (Am7) (Fj7) (G)

(C)Dream through the night
With your cuddly brown (F)pet,
The cuddly brown (Fm)pet
Will get
You the best dreams every (C)night.
Al(Em)right? Al(Dm7)right.
(G) Dream safe through the (C)night.

And (F)when sometimes you need to cry,
May (Fm)someone be nigh
Who (C)knows how to soothe your troubled (Am)mind.
And (F)when somebody is sad and blue
And it (Fm)seems they need you,
Con(C)sider you might try to be (Am)kind.
I (F)know that´s not (G)easy, some(C)times. (Em7/B) (Am7) (Fj7) (G)

May you (C)walk through your day
True and (F)strong,
You can´t go (Fm)wrong
For long
When you find your own (C)way,
O(Em)kay? O(Dm7)kay.
(G) Walk your own peculiar (C)way. (Em7/B) (Am7) (Fj7) (G)

(C)Ride through the night
On your little blue (F)horse,
That little blue (Fm)horse,
Of course,
Knows the way through the (C)night.
Al(Em)right? Al(Dm7)right.
(G) Sleep safe through the (C)night.

Good (Fj7)days and good nights for you (G)always,
Dear (C)Tomke. (Cadd9) (C) (G) (C)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
