D6
Close your eyes, have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run
And your daddy's here

Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer
Every day
In every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
           Bm7
Beautiful boy

Bm          Bm(maj7)  Bm
Out on the ocean
          B
Sailing away
G             D7  G                  D7  
I can hardly wait to see you come of age
G                 D7                   A7
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes, it's a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer
Every day
In every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean

('Goodnight Sean, see you in the morning, bright and early')

NOTE: "I was with Sean in the kitchen with the bread. I kept
thinking: 'Well, I ought to be inspired to write about Sean. I
was going through a bit of that and when I finally gave up on
thinking about writing a song about him, of course, the song
came to me." (John Lennon, 1980)
