pretty simple song. other than the fills in the pre-chorus, things are pretty bare bones.

Verse 
A7             C               G            Em
   Isn't it lovely when the dawn brings the dew, i'll be watching over you
etc.

Pre-chorus:
G            C
goodnight my sweetheart...

                     Goodnight sleep tight, goodnight God bless

D |-5-5-5-5-5--3--5--7-----|
A |-5-5-5-5-5--3--5--7-----|
E |-3-3-3-3-3--1--3--5-----|
let the last power chord ring, repeat etc. does it need explaining?

E |------------------------|
