From: "Simon Forsman" <simonforsman@hotmail.com> Subject: the Corrs... Date: Thu, 26 Mar 1998 05:26:52 PST **Only when I sleep** By the Corrs, from the album Talk on corners. Figured out by Simon Forsman. <simonforsman@hotmail.com> Some of the chords on this song is kinda odd, and I don't know what they're called. But on the bottom of this page I'll show you the tabs on theese chords. And in the end of the verses there's a guitar riff - check bottom of page. The bass is always going B, A, E, A on the verses, but the guitar sometimes (or always) go to the A6/Db-chord instead of the bass's A. So if you wanna variate: Instead of the A's on the verses, use the A6/Db-chord (see tab). And instead of the E's on the verses the guitar sometimes goes to some kind of E/Ab-chord... But if you're only using the guitar and no bass, you might aswell just play all the ordinary chords. Sounds better. There's a riff in the beginning of the song. I'll give you the tab on that riff (not the entire solo). Just a nice intro... m=minor Intro: riff 1... Bm... D7... E... Em... A... Verse 1:

^Bm... You're ^Aonly just a ^Edream boat, sailing in my ^Bmhead You ^Aswim my secret ^Eoceans, of coral blue and ^Bmred A E (bridge:)G^(see tab) Your smell is incense burning, your touch is silken yet D G^ It reaches through my skin, moving from within riff 2(tab) And it clutches at my breast...

Chorus:

But it's only when I ^Bmsleep, see you in my ^D7dreams Got me spinning ^Eround and round, turning ^Emupside down^A But I only hear you ^Bmbreathe, somewhere in my ^D7sleep Got me spinning ^Eround and round, turning ^Emupside down^A Bm... But it's only when i sleep...

Verse 2:

... And ^Awhen I wake from ^Eslumber, your shadow's disa^Bmppeared You ^Abreath is just the ^Esea mist, surrounding my bo^Bmdy A E (bridge:) G^(tab)... I'm working through the daytime, but when it's time to rest... D G^(tab) I'm lying in my bed, listening to my breath riff 2(tab)... Falling from the edge...
