Sleeping in the Flowers
by They Might Be Giants
This doesn't sound totally right at parts, but it's a good guide. If you=
can come up with anything better for the chorus, please repost it. Also,=
I don't have time to figure out the solo. If there's any interest, maybe=
someone could post that too.
I got a crush, copy shop clerk
Am F C(hit C chord and quickly mute)
But she won't look up at me
Don't want to be known as the freak
C E Am(hit and mute)
Who just comes around to catch her eye
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too
A )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))=
Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around
C F )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))=
I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
(This part is tough to show rythm as there are no words, but basically
the guitar just plays one note on the high E string)
e5-5-5-55-55-5-55-5-5-5-55-55-5-5e This is the rythm I use with each =
dash or 5 Equals a sixteenth note
but I think you can figure it out
Then the bass does somthing like this:
Repeat these figures twice, then back to the verse
I got a ride, home with a drunk guy
Am F C(hit and mute)
How ungreatful I must have seemed
He showed me how, to spin my head round and round
Chorus and interlude
Solo(Play the chords for the verse over the solo)
Chorus(Extend the chorus to fade with this...)
We could be sleeping in the flowers =
Tell my boss that I've been fired
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
tell my boss i'm fired
