"Goodnight" — Lennon wrote this lullaby for his son Julian, then gave it to Ringo to sing with a full orchestral arrangement. Tender, old-fashioned, genuinely touching.

1. [G]Now it`s [Bmi]time to [C]say goodnight,

[Bmi]Good [C]night, sleep [D7] tight
{Chorus:}
[Bmi]Dream sweet [Ami]dreams for [Bmi]me [Ami],
[G]Dream sweet [Ami]dreams for [G]you [Ami].
2. Close your eyes and I`ll close mine, Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine, Goodnight, sleep tight
{Chorus.}
{Middle:}
[G]Hm, m [Ami]m, [A]Hm, m [Dmi]m, [G]Hm, m, [C]m-m-m [D7]m.
3. Close your eyes and I`ll close mine, Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light, Goodnight, sleep tight
{Chorus.}

- John wrote it for son Julian after their separation. Ringo's gentle delivery suits it perfectly. From White Album (1968).
