Tuning:Standard

I think Curtis Mayfield did this in an open tuning, 
but here's a simple way to play it in standard tuning

 F#5        E5                   A5   B5                    F#5

Hush now, child, and don't you cry,  your folks might understand you, by and by,
     F#5     E5             A5    B5
Just move on up, toward your desti - nation,
