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 I got a Fcrush, C copy shopE clerk
Am F C(hit C chord and quickly mute)
But she won't look up at me
Am Don't want to be Fknown as the freak
C E Am(hit and mute)
Who just comes around to catch her eye
CHORUS
We could be Asleeping in the Dflowers, We could Bmsleep all afterEnoon
You'd proCclaim that your an Fisland, I proDmclaim that I'm one Etoo

Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around

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 I got aF ride,C home with a Edrunk guy
Am F C(hit and mute)
How ungreatful I must have seemed
Am He showed Fme how,C to spin my head Eround and round
Chorus and interlude
Solo(Play the chords for the verse over the solo)
Chorus(Extend the chorus to fade with this...)
We could be Asleeping in the Dflowers =
Tell my Bmboss that I've been Cfired
We'll be Asleeping in the Dflowers
tell my Bmboss i'm Cfired
