| C | Am | |
| good morning my | child |
| C | Am | |
| stay with me a | while |
| F | C | |
| you've not got | any place to | be |
| F | C | |
| won't you | sit a spell with | me |
| Am | C | Am | F |
| C | Am | |
| you've got diamonds for | eyes |
| C | Am | |
| it's time for you to | rise |
| F | |
| and e | vaporate |
| C | |
| in the | sun |
| F | |
| sometimes | it can weigh |
| C | |
| a | ton |
| G | Am | Em | |
| keep all your | crows | away |
| G | Am | Em | |
| hold skinny | wolves at | bay |
| C | Am | Em | |
| in silver | piles of | smiles |
| Am | G | F | |
| may all your | days be | gold my | child |
| (same chords throughout, except where specified) |
| a necklace of leaves |
| spirits in the trees |
| and drown all the clocks 'til there's none |
| little ambient in the sun |
| keep all your crows away |
| hold skinny wolves at bay |
| in silver piles of smiles |
| may all your days be gold my child |
| Am | Em | Am | Em | |
| ha- | ah, ha- | ah, ha- | ah, hah- | ah |
| good morning my child |
| stay with me a while |
| and evaporate in the sun |
| sometimes it can weigh a ton |
| keep all your crows away |
| hold skinny wolves at bay |
| in silver piles of smiles |
| may all your days be gold my child |
| may all your days be gold my child |
| may all your days be gold my child |
| may all your days be gold my child |
