Verse 1
G
Go shake the sleepy head of children
C
G
All lying like lumps in the bed I'll light
D
the stove and pour wa ter in the
kettle
C
G
And jam and butter on the bread
Em
G
Wake up you sleepy -headed children
Em
G
Wake up and out of bed
C
D
There's a visitor who's calling
C
And he'll soon be gone
G
C
G
C
G
C
D
G
again
D
Well, I might be a kid with a sleepy old head,
C
G
but I don't believe it's right
D
I never heard an old visitor come call
C
G
in' in the middle of the night
Em
G
Well, I'm gonna tell this visitor
Em
I don't think it's polite
G
C
D
C
To come around here callin' when everyone's
G
C
G
C
G
C
D
sleepin' tight
G
D
And mama says stop your moaning
C
G
and put something on your feet
D
This visitor is not the kind of fella you can
C
G
talk to walking down the street
Em
G
And go and tell your sister
Em
to put something on her feet
G
C
G
And wrap a blanket around your shoulder
D
C
G
And out the door to be sweet
C
G
C
G
C
D
G
D
Now we've got real nice neighbours
C
G
Both living on the left and the right
But I never thought I'd
D
see them out standing
C
G
In the yard in the middle of the night
Em
When I saw all our neigh
G
Em
G
bours I got an awful fright
C
D
All out in their pyjamas
C
Staring up into the deep dark
G
C
G
C
G
C
D
G
night
D
There's the old man living on the corner
C
G
And he's saying look up, look up
And the lady next door,
D
C
G
she's trying to pour hot tea in a little tin cup
Em
G
She points and says, look up there,
Em
follow my fingertip
G
C
And I stretched and
G
D
strained and squinted
C
G
And I said, I'd just give up
And she said,
Am
D
that thing you're trying so hard to see
G
C
Don't look at it directly
Am
C
D
It'll hide from you like an old gecko
C
G
D
C
G
D
on a gum tree
C
G
D
Well did my father's binoculars help?
C
G
Well that depends
D
If what he saw was a visitor and
C
not a scratch upon the lens
G
Em
G
Then someone says I see it,
Em
G
and another one says I think I see it
C
G
D
If there's a long and fiery tale,
C
G
C
G
then that'll be it
D
There's more stars out tonight,
C
a thousand times the national flag
G
D
And the old man's following a sky map
C
printed on the page from a local rag
G
Em
To the right of the
G
Em
High 80s, to the left of the
G
Pleiades
C
D
Like fishing for an aspirin,
C
G
C
G
loose at the bottom of a bag
The
D
High 80s are a bunch of stars
C
all shaped like the capital
A
G
And the other is the name of a video
C
game I always used to play
G
Em
G
I played the gameplay 80s
Em
G
all through the 1980s
C
D
3 worth of 20s
C
I'd waste the whole damn
G
C

G
C
D
G
day
D
It's strange to me how the yard can
C
G
be so quiet in the light of the moon
In the day we're told to not play on the
D
C
G
road where the cars all race and hoon
Em
G
All up and down the day time they
Em
G
race and howl and hoon
C
D
And send the cats all flying or else
C
G
C
G
meet their roadside ruin
We got five cats buried in the
D
C
garden and three across the road
G
D
C
and I remember their furry little faces every
G
Em
time I mowed the grass around the
G
Em
G
garden and the grass across the road where
C
D
we dig the bait worms wriggling to
C
G
C
G
the croak of an old cane toe
Am
D
she said that thing you're trying to
G
C
see don't look at it directly
Am
D
C
G
D
C
It'll hide from you like an old gecko on a gum tree

G
D
I still think of that visitor
C
G
Blazing through the endless black
D
If I'm still alive I'll be 85
C
G
If he ever makes it back
Em
Blazing out a trail
G
Em
G
Through the deep and silent black
C
D
He'll never look behind him,
C
G
C
G
and he'll never leave his track
Everything goes in circles,
C
G
we head back to where we've been
And all become the aggregate
C
G
sum of what lay in between
Em
G
It sure has been eye -opening,
Em
all the places that I've been
G
C
D
But that night -time sky ablaze,
C
D
all brilliant and amazing
C
D
Above the house that I was raised in,
C
G
C
G
still the prettiest thing I've seen
