  • Verse 1
    I've been asleep for a long, long time
    Blond hair to brown and brown to white
  • My mom is buried beside my dad (?)
    But I was asleep for all of that
     
  • Verse 2
    The schools that I went to have all been closed
    And all of my teachers are dead I suppose
  • The songs that we sung have all gone quiet
    What happens below as you sleep at night?
     
  • Chorus (chords relative to capo)
     
    em G C
  • I shut my eyes for a moment's rest
    em G C (etc...)
    'cause I get so tired
  • What things transpired while my body slipped
    Beset my mind (?)
     
  • Interlude
     
    Just fiddle around with picking the chorus chords for a few bars and then
  • sing to the same chords.
     
    em G C (etc...)
  • The river's up, the reeds are cut
    Halfway across what never was
    The water rose and swept in slow
  • When the reeds awoke they were half below
     
    After that it's the same chords while the string section works their magic,
  • followed by a harder rocking part again over the same basic chords. Feel
    free to improv all you want as I have no idea how to tab it.
     
  • Structure:
    Intro

    Chorus
  • Interlude
    Verse 1 (2x)
    Verse riff as outro
  •  
    This song is pretty much all about the timing, so you'll have to play it a
    few times to really get it. Near the end when they repeat the first verse
  • they only play the very first part once as opposed the usual twice... but
    that's hard to explain unless you listen to it and notice it. That may only
    happen in the performance in the video from the ECMA's as well, I'm not
  • really sure. Also, I'm not too sure about some of the lyrics but those are
    the closest words my ears could decipher so you'll just have to go with it
    unless you know otherwise. Lastly, I left out some of Hogan's guitar parts
  • because I'm not good enough to tab them, go nuts figuring those out
    yourself.
