#
#Intro: D Em (2x)
#
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzed
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul
Chorus:
Now I lie in bed and think of her, sometimes I even weep
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Well, she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman. Now I am her greatest fan
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them
(Chorus)
(Solo over verse)
(Chorus)
Got your number from a friend of mine who lives in your hometown
Called you up to have a drink, your roommate said you weren't around
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them
(Chorus)
Behind the wall of sleep (3x)
