Sir Rockaby - Frank Black

This is how Frank Black plays it on his own with no band.
Use bar chords throughout


A    G    A    F

open C (strum once then put little finger on B string, third fret,
        strum then take the finger off and strum again)

C             Bm  F
You got a sad face, you don't show it

G          Ab         C(see bottom)
And you're smiling it too

C             Bm
Even in deep, deep outer space

F       G   Ab        C
There's something for you

C             F     E
I'm Sir Rockaby

G,             C
And rockin' I am

C             F     E
I'm Sir Rockaby

G,             C
And rockin' I am


Play same chords as for first verse throughout second
and third verses.


The world is a rock that's spinning so fast
It'll give you jim-jams
I'm just a real love diplomat
Won't give you no flim-flams

I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am
I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am

A     G     A     F

How many stars girl can you both count and then classify?
I'm standing here in this big swirll
Singing this lullaby

I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am
I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am


For the C chord through nearly all of the song do something
like -
