Artist/Band: Blitzen Trapper Tabs
Song: Sleepytime In The Western World Tab
D G(open)
Your eyelids are made of lead
F#7 Bm
You can't keep them up
C G(barre)
Cause its sleepytime
F1 Eb Bb/D C7
And that's no crime in the western world
Cause when the sun goes down
Eb
You�re bound to follow through
Bb/D
Sleeping through the afternoon
F2 Eb Bb/D C7
I just can't seem to leave my room
Eb Bb/D
Waiting for the moon and a love so true
C7
It's gonna see me through
Eb Bb1
You know it's gonna see me through
D G(open) F#7 Bm C
G(barre) F1 Eb Bb/D
C7
Cause when the sun goes down
Eb
I'm gonna make like a tree and bloom
Bb/D
Sleeping through the afternoon
F2 Eb Bb/D C7
I just can�t seem to leave my room
Eb Bb/D
Waiting for the moon and a love so true
C7
It�s gonna see me through
Eb Bb1
You know it�s gonna see me through
(Even though the last part ends on Bb and this part starts on Bb,
I change from Bb1 to Bb2 to get closer to the lower F,
there's a pause anyway, might as well.)
Bb2
Drifting down the sleepy river
F1
Waking like a child
C G barre
Never gonna know what the spirit said
Bb2 F1
Unless you drift down for a while
Eb Bb/D C7
Never gonna know what the wind is whispering now
Eb Bb/D C7
Never gonna know unless you leave this world somehow
Eb Bb1
Unless you leave this world somehow
Bb1 A(barre)
I woke up on the street
E(barre) Ab
So apprehensive, feeling weak
C# F#
And as I finally tried to speak
G(open) D A(open)
Twelve birds flew straightways from my mouth
Bb1 A(barre)
I circled high above the sky
E(barre) Ab
Began to cry with piercing sounds
C# F#
A crowd gathered on the ground
G(open) D A(open)
All speaking strangely through their teeth
Bb1 A(barre)
I felt alone and in my creep
E(barre) Ab
I spoke once more into the wind
C# F#
A storm of birds contained therein
E(open)
Began to spin, to spin
Bb1 A(barre) E(barre) Ab
C# F# E(open)
D G(open)
Your eyelids are made of lead
F#7 Bm
You can't keep them up
C G(barre)
Cause its sleepytime
F1 Eb Bb/D C7
And that's no crime in the western world
Cause when the sun goes down
Eb
You�re bound to follow through
Bb/D
Sleeping through the afternoon
F2 Eb Bb/D C7
I just can't seem to leave my room
Eb Bb/D
Waiting for the moon and a love so true
C7
It's gonna see me through
Eb Bb1
You know it's gonna see me through
