Slaid Cleaves - Call It Sleep




CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: C majorC ~ A minorAm FF

     C majorC         ~
You're a working man with a welder's tan
 A minorAm        FF
A augmentedA sky blue ford you bought second hand
  C majorC          ~
You drive on down to the factory
  A minorAm               FF
You drive on down because it's your job you see

C majorC            ~
Carry your thermos underneath your arm
    A minorAm                FF
Little coffee and bourbon will help you through the morn
     C majorC             ~
You crack wise with the boys, so it don't bring you down
A minorAm             FF
Time ain't nothing but the world spinning round


CHORUS:
  G+G
You call it sleep
     FF
There's a car out on the four lane
  G+G
You call it sleep
FF
Rain on the window pane
G+G
Call it sleep
   FF
It's all the same


  C majorC            ~
You stop off down at the Palomino Club
  A minorAm        FF
The neon sign says, "We've Got Your Bud"
    C majorC             ~
It's a cinderblock building on a gravel parking lot
   A minorAm             FF
It's Friday night, you're out to spend every cent you got

    C majorC           ~
So you dance the floor with a Mexican girl
     A minorAm           FF
She's got whiskey on her breath, smoke in her curls
C majorC              ~
Hands holding cigarettes and faces you don't know
  A minorAm            FF
You sit at the bar until it's time to go


CHORUS:
  G+G
You call it sleep
     FF
There's a car out on the four lane
  G+G
You call it sleep
FF
Rain on the window pane
G+G
Call it sleep
   FF
It's all the same


INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC ~ A minorAm FF  C majorC ~ A minorAm FF


  C majorC           ~
The morning air feels like mud over your eyes
  A minorAm           FF
The sun coming up is just a sixty watt light
   C majorC          ~
Maybe leave this town and leave this life
A minorAm           FF
Get in your car and you start to drive


    C majorC            ~
There's boarded up buildings and places you've never been
A minorAm             FF
Cars on the interstate that never seem to end
  C majorC            ~
It all flies away with the wave of your hand
   A minorAm        FF
Like birds over water trying to find land


CHORUS:
  G+G
You call it sleep
     FF
There's a car out on the four lane
  G+G
You call it sleep
FF
Rain on the window pane
G+G
Call it sleep
   FF        C majorC ~ A minorAm FF
It's all the same
     C majorC         ~
You're a working man with a welder's tan
 A minorAm        FF
