Se[D]bastian arrived in a [D9/C-bass]cardboard suitcase [G/B-bass]sealed with a kiss from his [Gm7/Bb-bass]mom,
Sebastian is led to a black-walled romm, red carpeting covers the floor,
And someone is closing the door, and rasing the blind.
Hiding his eyes so they won't look surprised
When the hand reaches down for the note,
The one that his mother wrote and tied by a string to his neck.
With a [D/V-pos]newspaper under his G#dimarm and over his A7sushead. A7
AEmlone in the hall with his [G/add-D]back to the wall
You could Dsee he was [D/C#bass]one of a fe[D/C-bass]w, B7
He Emspoke only when spoken Ato and sometimes [G6/add-D]alone in his Dbed.
C:Chorus:
[D/V-pos]Sing swDmaj7eet SebaEm11stian, [A7/C#bass]Sing the swGeetest song,D [D/V-pos]Sing so Dmaj7sweet that Em11while you sleep Yo[A7/C#bass]ur melody [G/B-bass]lingers on.[D] [A]Oh.[Asus] [A] [D]C:Chorus.
Waiting for the sunrise and the rest of his life to begin, Sebastian is wearing a grin under his nose. And out on the grass he can hear it at last The rush of a bird to its home, And then while unpacking a comb he thinks of a song that he knows.C:Chorus.
