Theres alot of righting here but its worth the time to read so enjoy....
The intro and the verse are the same and can be either fingerpicked or strummed
although if you can get your fingers to pick the strings it sounds more effective.
The three opening chords are derivatives of Em,Cmaj7 and Em7.
The best way of fretting them are to use a C shape adding your little finger
to fret the top string at the 10th fret.
Only the bass(E) and top three strings are picked, with the index finger
being used to slide between the 7th and 8th fret
during the chord progression.
Although not all the strings held down are used when fingerpicked they sound OK
when strummed. Note the different finger positions for identical chords and have fun!!!
The chord positions used are as follows:
Em 0 10 9 0 8 10
Cmaj7 8 10 9 0 8 10 (use thumb to fret bass)
Em7 X 0 9 9 8 10
Asus2002200
Em022000
Cmaj7332000
Dsus4X54035
C332010
D200232 ( F#in the bass)
G320033
G? 200033
Em7020033
Intro Em, Cmaj7, Em7X2
EmI dreamt I was in heaven
and I was sitting in a bar
With Cmaj7all the other angels,
you were sEm7moking a cigar
EmOne hand on your hip
and one foot on a chair
And a Cmaj7golden ostrich feather
that was Em7planted in your hair
Em, Cmaj7, Em7X2
And if I Emreally were an angel,
I'd float over your bed
Each Cmaj7night a different dream of me
I'd Em7plant inside your head
And Emif I were an angel,
I tell you what I'd do
I'd aCmaj7ppear in a vision
and I'd Asus2give my wings to you
(--3--2--Em)see note below EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2,EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2
At this point use standard chord positions i.e. Em 022000
Cmaj7332000
Asus2002200
Also from the end of the verse descend the bass string before you hit
the Emand Cmaj7chord i.E.,-3-2-Emx2, -3-2-0- Cmaj7, Asus2
Asus2 Dsus4 Em( Dsus4054035)( Cshape + little finger)
And I'd say "come closer
CFly into the lDight
G G? Em
And please, please don't be stupid (see note below)
G? Csus2
Let me sleep tonight
G G? Em
And please don't be stupid
G? Csus2
Let me sleep tonight"
G(320033) G?(200033) Em(020033)
NB. "please don't be stupid
G?(200033) Csus2(032033)
let me sleep tonight" X2
(highlight the bass string run with pick or thumb)
EmI dreamt you were a genie
and I found you in the sand
And you were tCmaj7rapped inside a bottle
and I hEm7eld you in my hand
And you Emsaid you'd grant me wishes
if you were ever freed
I said "an Cmaj7empty head when I go to bed
is Asus2all I ever need"
( bass string -3-2-0) Emx2,Cmaj7,Asus2,Emx2,Cmaj7,Asus2
So EmI, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word
And you Cmaj7laughed the cruellist laugh that Em7I had ever heard
And you Emsaid "about these wishes, it's too late to decide"
But I reCmaj7membered that it was my dream... so I Asus2put you back inside
3-2-Emx2 3-2-0 Cmaj7 Asus2X2 (see note above)
I Emdreamt I was a pirate
aboard a pirate ship
And for a Cmaj7hand I had a hook
and for a Em7heart I had a whip
And you were tEmrapped inside your bottle
and I kept you down below
And you bCmaj7egged me to release you...
but I Asus2would not let you go
3-2- EmX2 Cmaj7, Asus2X2
One nEmight I was awoken
while we were out at sea
By a fCmaj7loating appartion
glowing Em7incadescently
And EmI could see you clearly
as all around was black
And you tCmaj7ore off both your wings, said
"Hey now Asus2you can have them back!"
Intrument break played over Em,Cmaj7, Asus2X2
And you said Dsus4"come cEmloser
CFly into the liDght
G G? Em
And please, please don't be stupid
G? Csus2
Let me sleep tonight"
G G? Em
No you said "please don't be stupid
G? Csus2
Let me sleep tonight
tonight ... tonight....tonight" 3-2- Em (once only)
