#Behind the Wall of Sleep -- The Smithereens
#
#Intro: D Em (2x)
#
S[D]he had h[Em]air like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 19[G]65
She had le[A]gs that never ended, I w[D]as h[Em]alfway paralyzed
S[D]he was t[Em]all and cool and pretty and she dre[G]ssed as black as coal
If she ask[A]ed me to I'd murder, I wo[D]uld g[Em]ladly lose my soul
Chorus:
Now I li[G]e in bed and th[Em]ink of her, someti[G]mes I even w[Em]eep
Then I dr[C]eam of her behi[D]nd the wall of sl[Em]eep
Well, she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman. Now I am her greatest fan
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them
(Chorus)
(Solo over verse)
(Chorus)
Got your number from a friend of mine who lives in your hometown
Called you up to have a drink, your roommate said you weren't around
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them
(Chorus)
Behind the wall of sleep (3x)
Outro:
D Em(4x)
