Song: Do you sleep? Performer: Lisa Loeb and the Nine Stories Album: Tails Transcribed by evan c. parker (ecpark@mail.wm.edu) With modifications made by Glenn Huther (ghuth@netspace.net.au) the opening sequence is just a picked version of the chords Bm (224412) and Em (022000). if you can contort you hand into a good Bm (which i can't) then it shouldn't be a problem...
capo second fret I debate that... My opinion is no capo, and the chords are.... C#m A The opening sequence is C#minor (X46654) and A (577655) bar chords Here I also have an alteration. I have noticed that the high notes of the bar chords are left open.... I.e. an A bar (577655) is played (577600). Therefore chords throughout are.... C#m (X46650) A (577600) F# (255400) E (022100) Bm (799800) so the open 1st and 2nd strings (B&E) can be played *G# (466544) dont play open 1st and 2nd.. sounds terrible! *F# (255422) B (X24440) *A (X02220) The chords that are not played with the open 1st and 2nd are marked with an asterisk (*) below. 4x C#m A C#m A C#m do ..
