Sleeping in the Flowers
by They Might Be Giants
Transcribed by Adam Lane
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.
VERSE
Am F C E
I got a crush, copy shop clerk
Am F C C
(hit chord and quickly mute)
But she won't look up at me
Am F
Don't want to be known as the freak
C E Am
(hit and mute)
Who just comes around to catch her eye
CHORUS
A D Bm E
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon
C F Dm E
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
INTERLUDE
(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:
G-------------------0-|----------------0-----|G
D---------------2--2--|------------2--2------|D
A---0---3---5---------|0-0-3---5-------------|A
E---------------------|----------------------|E
Repeat these figures twice, then back to the verse
Am F C E
I got a ride, home with a drunk guy
Am F C
(hit and mute)
How ungreatful I must have seemed
Am F C E
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...)
A D
We could be sleeping in the flowers =
Bm C
Tell my boss that I've been fired
A D
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Bm C
tell my boss i'm fired
