Sleeping in the Flowers

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 [F]crush, [C] copy shop[E] clerk
Am F C(hit C chord and quickly mute)
But she won't look up at me
[Am] Don't want to be [F]known as the freak
C E Am(hit and mute)
Who just comes around to catch her eye

CHORUS
We could be [A]sleeping in the [D]flowers, We could [Bm]sleep all after[E]noon
You'd pro[C]claim that your an [F]island, I pro[Dm]claim that I'm one [E]too
A )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
[))))))))))))))))))))))))))D]Then we float into the harbor, With just pie[Bm]rs and boats arou[E]nd
C F )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
[))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))Dm]I declare that I am England, You declare that I have dro[E]wned

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 a[F] ride,[C] home with a [E]drunk guy
Am F C(hit and mute)
How ungreatful I must have seemed
[Am] He showed [F]me how,[C] to spin my head [E]round 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 [A]sleeping in the [D]flowers

Tell my [Bm]boss that I've been [C]fired
We'll be [A]sleeping in the [D]flowers
tell my [Bm]boss i'm [C]fired
