Okay, here goes the tabs to this beautiful song.
There are two versions below : The Easy one and the Harder One.
The easy one is a bunch of standard chords which is nice and easy to sing along to.
The harder one sounds closer to the real piece, but will take more time to pick up.
If you want to play the easy version, just scroll below, play the chords, and ignore all 
little asterisks * and brackets that you come across.
(PS - I've numbered each asterisk. Sorry if I've complicated everything :P. I like to 
things sometimes..)
Good Luck! and please email me for suggestion for improvements or help or thanks or just 
ask about my day.. :)

We lie awake
We're tired but we can't
Get to sleep
I'm tired cause I've scraped
Through the day
He's tired because he's
Been out late again
And there he lies
Staring up with his
Big blue eyes
He whispers to me
Aren't you tired ?
I'm tired of missing the bee.
Chorus:
AI'll wait with SnakeB  
He's soft Einside but not as soft as
Ayou.

Yesterday
Snake told me bout the
Time when we
Came to meet you
Off the plane we
All drove home in

He was proud and
Awfully glad that I
Took him out
I said "How does
New York sound?"
And he said "It
Sounds quite loud"
ESo pack your pipes,
Pack your chapstick
BAnd your tights
Won't you four go
C#mOut at night
And come and visit
AMe?
EWe'll take your camera
And go to the zoo
And take pictureBs of other
Snakes with you
And hope oC#mne
Turn out to be
