Smithereens – Behind A Wall Of Sleep chords
Chords:
Great song! The original is in Eb, if you want to play along, just tune down a half step. The kick-in-the-pants here is the D to Em. At the start of the verse, the beat is on the 3 and the 4 of the bar. The other D to Em (I've indicated by parentheses) the beat is on the "and 4 and" (8th notes) of the bar.Intro (D) Em (D) EmVerse 1D Em G She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965Am (D) Em She had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzedD Em GShe was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coalAm (D) EmIf she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soulChorusG Em Now I lie in bed and think of herG Em Sometimes I even weepAm D EmThen I dream of her behind a wall of sleepVerse 2D Em GWell she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a bandAm (D) EmAnd she stood just like Bill Wyman, now I am her biggest fanD Em GNow I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friendAm (D) EmAnd I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like themChorus Verse 3D Em G Am (D) Em(Instrumental)D Em G Am (D) Em(Instrumental)Chorus Verse 4D Em GGot your number from a friend of mine who lives in your home townAm (D) EmCalled you up to have a drink your roommate said you weren't aroundD Em GNow I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friendAm (D) EmAnd I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like themChorus OutroAm G Em Behind a wall of sleepAm G EmBehind a wall of sleepAm G EmBehind a wall of sleep(D) Em (D) Em D Em
