NOTES:
A lot of this song involves I-IV vamping that I wouldn't quite consider a chord change 
(in this case, C# to F#). Play C# as [xx666x], then hammer on the middle and ring finger
 in an Am7 shape like [xx867x]
[Verse 1]
I C#realized F#my C#fist was clenched, I stretched my fingers to F#re__C#_ - lax
   C#Still not F#sleep - C#y, I tried F#counting C#sheep
F#7One by one, leapt across the fence constructed C#for them 
F#7Right to left, across the fence I had consC#tructed
EHaving jumped, they refused further diC#rection
[Verse 2]
EaC#ch sheep where it F#land - C#ed, refusing to exit, remainedF#  C#  
Creating a vast F#wri - C#thing heap growing fast on the landF#  C#  
F#7Try as I might, I could not stop them C#entering, once again,
F#7Try as they might, not one could C#leave the stead
EI realize my fists were clenched, I stretch my C#fingers...
[Verse 3]
EaC#ch sheep where it F#land - C#ed, refusing to exit, remainedF#  C#  
Creating a vast F#wri - C#thing heap growing quickly at one sideF#  C#  
F#7Try as they might, not one could C#leave the stead
F#7Try as they might, not one could C#leave the stead
ENo longer daring to close my eyes, still not C#sleepy
[CODA]
  C#Heaps of sheeps, heaps F#of C#sheeps... [repeat]
I C#realized my goose was cooked, I wandered ship-shape on the shore.C#/G#  C#
