Hey everyone.  This is my first attempt at a tab, so, gather what you will from that.
is a great song and it's a shame that you cannot find this tab anywhere.  So here goes.
free to update this as there are probably some things missing.   I don't know if these 
the right chord voicings, but they sound ok, at least when you are playing on your own.

|G            |Bm         |Em         |Em     |
capped     who wouldn't be quiet...     unless

|Am          |Am/C          |D        |D      |
his dad would sing him a.....song

|G            |Bm         |Em      |Em     |
So yea...     It wasn't    long        before

|Am            |Am/C          |D        |D      |
they found out just where we   were....

|D        |D       |
                But...

|C        |C       |C       |C       |
I wasn't mad......     at that kid at

|G        |G       |G       |G       |
All....                       I just..


|C        |C       |C       |C       |
Felt so sad....when his dad said...


|G        |Gmaj7    |G         |Gmaj7
Goodnight Boy.....  Go to sleep Boy

|E         |Bm       |E         |E
Shutup... Boy ....for me


|G        |Gmaj7    |G         |Gmaj7
Goodnight Boy.....  Go to sleep Boy

|G        |Gmaj7    |Em        |Em
Shutup....Boy.......for me


He repeats the last 8 measures a few times and ends on G with "The troops rush in."

There you go.  When I play it alone on guitar I substitute a D/F# for the Gmaj7...It
sounds better...he might actually play something different at that part, it's hard to tell
the organ over it.

Anyways, enjoy!
