New Years Day

Bbm

[Verse 1]
Bbm                                  Eb7
Black-eyed peas in a plastic bowl on New Year's Day
Bbm                             Eb7
Sitting in my swingset swing to get away
Db                           Eb7
Sissy says don't worry it'll be ok
Bbm                        Eb7
So we do what we always do stay out of the way
Bbm
Out of the way

[Chorus]
Db
Now I lay me donw to sleep
  Eb7                           Bbm Bb Bbm
I pray the lord my soul to keep

[Verse 2]
Bbm                          Eb7
Turning up the volume on the radio
Bbm                               Eb7
Straining not to hear the sound I still cannot let go
Db                            Eb7
Hoping that the fight'll take away the cold
Bbm                                Eb7
Grandaddy's house is just a minute down the road
     Bbm
Just down the road

[Chorus]
Db
Now I lay me donw to sleep
  Eb7                           Bbm Eb7
I pray the lord my soul to keep

[Verse 3]
Bbm                             Eb7
We got school tomorrow and it's past bedtime
Bbm                             Eb7
Momma's coming down the hall to say goodnight
Db                           Eb7
She can't cover up her wory, but she tries
Bbm                                       Eb7
I love you girls now say your prayers and close your eyes

[Chorus]
Db
Now I lay me down to sleep
  Eb7                          Bbm
I pray the lord my soul to keep
   Db
If I should die before I wake
  Eb7
I pray the lord my soul to take
