Yeah, Just like I said, Reba.... Well, maybe not. Looks like Barbara beat me to the punch, but I think I'll post my results as well, since mine are much neater... [grin] -Joe Offer-

ROCK ME TO SLEEP (Tom Hunter)

All I can hear are the crickets
And the whistle from some lonely freight
I've been working so hard to make everything right
But for now it'll just have to wait

C -F-/C-G,-/C-F-/--G-

CHORUS
`Cause tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep
I'd like you to sing me a song'
I'm tired of trying to figure things out
And I'm tired of being so strong

C - FCG C/F-C-//F FCG C -

I've never been too good at asking
I'm more apt to do it alone
And it's strange how a lot of us think something's wrong
If we can't do it all on our own

It's funny how times when you're hurting
Make what's so faniiliar seem strange
So when you need help, it's hardest to ask
And it always takes so long to change

Seems to me there's a recent recording of this, but heck if I know where.
