Artist: They Might Be Giants
Song: Sleeping in the Flowers
Album: John Henry
Verse:
Am F C E
I got a crush, copy shop clerk
Am F C(quickly mute after striking)
But she won't look up at me
Am F
Don't want to be known as the freak
C E Am(hit and mute)
Who just comes around to catch her eye
Chorus:
A D Bm E
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon
C F Dm E
You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too
A D Bm E
Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around
C F Dm E
I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
Fill:
E-5-5-5-55-55-5-55-5-5-5-55-55-5-5

Verse 2:
I got a ride, home with a drunk guy
How ungreatful I must have seemed
He showed me how, to spin my head round and round
Chorus:
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon
You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too
Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around
I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
Fill:
E-5-5-5-55-55-5-55-5-5-5-55-55-5-5

I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned

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

We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Bm C
tell my boss that i'm fired

We'll be sleeping in the flowers

tell my boss that i'm fired
