A minorAm     G+G      A minorAm


I arranged the song in A minorAm using barre chords to match the
original chord centers:

Am: 577555
G:  355433
F:  133211
C:  332010
Bb: x13331  or  688766


While NIWS is generally played with a strum (on solo
guitar) to imitate the original sleepy sound of the Melotron,
the song can be rearranged slightly for a more delicate sound
using arpegiated chords:

    A minorAm (barre 5):
E MajorE||---------------------------|--
BB||-------5-----------5-------|--
G+G||-----5---5-------5---5-----|--
D MajorD||---7-------7---7-------7---|--      etc, etc
A augmentedA||-------------7-------------|--
E MajorE||-5-------------------------|--
