HUSHABYE MOUNTAIN
Dick Van Dyke (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang then latterly Dave Gilmore)
decoded by: aquamac – other versions I saw didn’t quite work for me

To the rhythm of a slow soft swinging waltz

First Verse
     Am    E           C        D
  A gentle breeze from hushabye mountain

  F      Am         Dm      E
  Softly blows o'er lullaby bay

     Am        E       C              D
  It fills the sails of boats that are waiting

  F          Am        E      Am
  Waiting to sail your worries away

  Dm         Am        E      (feels like there should be Am but this is skipped)


Second Verse
     Am    E      C        D
  It isn’t far to hushabye mountain

 F        Am         Dm          E
 And your boat waits down by the quay

     Am       E        C          D
 The winds of night so softly are sighing

 F              Am       E           Am and hold…     
 Soon they will fly your troubles to sea


Key Change
 Dm            A       F        G
 So close your eyes on hushabye mountain

 Bb   Dm         B            E
 Wave goodbye to cares of the day

Back down to original key
     Am         E         C        D
 And Watch your boat from hushabye mountain

 F        Am        E       Am
 Sail far away from lullaby bay

(optionally repeat 1 more time slowing to finish)
F        Am        E       Am
 Sail far away from lullaby bay…
