Topic: Ayase Lullaby
On my vacation we stayed with my wife’s sister, Yumiko in Ayase. Ayase is one of the many cities that make up suburban Tokyo. I had the pleasure of meeting my nieces, Honika and Hisako and my nephew Yoshinori for the first time on this visit. Yoshinori is the youngest and he is like a little energizer bunny that never stops so he’s a chore to put to bed at night so I promised Yumiko to write a song that might help so here it is. If you want to learn more about Ayase here is a link and I’m sure there are more:

Intro
[G] [D] [C] [G]
[G] [D] [G]
Verse 1
[G]It’s night[D]time in [C]old A[G]yase
[G]It’s nighttime all [C]over Tok[D]yo
[G]It’s night[D]time in [C]old Aya[G]se
And the [G]kids all know [D]where they have to [G]go
They’ve [C]all got busy days to[G]morrow
And they’re [C]futons are all laid [D]out
It’s [G]off to [D]sleep in [C]old A[G]yase
[G]Off you go [D]now but don’t [G]pout
Verse 2
But [G]Yoshi [D]wants to [C]play a little [G]longer
He’s [G]not a bit tired and [C]wants to stay a[D]wake
He [G]wants to [D]show his [C]sisters who’s [G]stronger
And [G]what difference will a [D]few minutes [G]make
But he [C]knows that he can’t [G]fight it
He [C]knows that it won’t [D]keep
[G]So it’s [D]off to [C]bed for little [G]Yoshi
Where [G]he’ll keep [D]playing in his [G]sleep
Verse 3
Now [G]all the little [D]boys and [C]girls are [G]sleeping
[G]Dreaming of whatever their [C]minds are thinking [D]of
Their [G]friends, their [D]family or [C]things that they [G]fancy
[G]Everything [D]that they dearly [G]love
[C]As quite descend on their [G]households
The [C]train rumbles through the [D]town
And [G]sleep des[D]cends on [C]old A[G]yase
As their [G]children are [D]sleeping safe and [C]sound[G]
