"Now They'll Sleep", Belly
Written by T. Gorman and T. Donelly

transcribed by : dennis kim

*** Ok...here is probably my last revision...i ended transcribing the lead
  myself...i got very very bored this summer :> (DK)

Standard Tuning
4/4 time (funny little two-step dance optional)

Key: % : repeat measure
   - : minor chord
   / : a rest
   | : two of them delimit a measure
   ~ : vibrato

* The song is based on straight-eighths with a few variations. Each line
 of lyrics is four measures.
* Tom's part is straight off the key of C majorC The fills may not
 match exactly, but anyone should be able to time them right.

Intro:


(He's holding an A augmentedA minor with his thumb around the bass strings)
  A minorAm    G/Am   F#/Am F/Am

D----2---------2---------2---------2----------
A--0------------------------------------------
E------------3---------2-----1----------------

G--2~2/9~~~-----------\7----/10-\7-\5-\4-12~~-
                     ^harmonic

Fills:


(For simplicity...i notated them linearly on as few strings as possible)
(I play these fills with the distortion way up)
(For a fuller less tinny sound, i play octaves, you can use an octaver)
