               SLEEP - Rachel Sermanni
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chords by: ripeandruin

Tuning: Drop D MajorD
Capo on the 3rd fret.

Here are the chords played (chord names are written as though played without a capo, also, numbers
of the frets are relative to the position of the capo):

DmDm = xx0231 (she actually plays x5776x, so she can nicely slide on the 1st finger (index finger) to play BB))
BB = x1333x (and then slide with 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger down a half note to play A augmentedA major)
A augmentedA = x02220

Follow this picking (this also seems to be the intro):

e|--------------------------------------------------------------------0-----------------------------|
BB|--------6-----------6-----------3-----------3----------\2-----------2--------------2--------------|
G+G|--------7-----------7-----------3-----------3----------\2--------------------------2--------------|
D MajorD|-----7-----7-----7-----7-----3-----3-----3-----3----\2-----2-----2-----2------2----------2--------|
A augmentedA|--5-----------5----------\1-----------1-----------0-----------0-----------0----------------------2|
E MajorE|-(0)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

\ - slide down
() - sometimes she plays that note and it's beautiful...

You see, I don't know how to use these funny tab notations, but I think you could understand the idea.


Oh yes, and she does something like this, too:

e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|--------2-------------2--------------------------------------6---------|
G+G|--------2-------------2--------------------------------------7---------|  etc.
D MajorD|-----2-----2------2-------2-----2-------------------------7-----7------|
A augmentedA|--0-----------0--------------0--------0-----0-----0---5-------------5--|
E MajorE|-----------------------------------5-----3-----2-----(0)---------------|
              ...so - lar  sys - tem - ssssssssssssss...

But you can figure it out yourself by listening to the song.
Anyways, here are the lyrics and chords (not complete):


DmDm     BB
Sleep baby sleep
    A augmentedA
I don't mind if you leave;
    DmDm     BB    A augmentedA
We will part in our dreams, let them come.
   DmDm     BB
I'll give you my skin
    A augmentedA
But you can't have within;
    DmDm      BB
Hold me tight as you like.
    A augmentedA             DmDm   BB A augmentedA
I will leave you when the day is done.

DmDm      BB
Wake with the dawn
     A augmentedA
Discover needles in my neck.
     DmDm       BB    A augmentedA
Sleep it bade me turn my back on you.
DmDm       BB
I'll watch your chest
   A augmentedA
As it rises with each breath
       DmDm        BB
But you still breathe beneath a river
     A augmentedA     DmDm BB A augmentedA
that I'll never even wade through.

DmDm      BB
Give me your cup and
A augmentedA
I'll give you mine.
     DmDm         BB
But I'll prise it from your fingers
   A augmentedA
in surrender to the night.
     DmDm    BB
The moon is bright
      A augmentedA
And hangs alone.
          DmDm  BB            A augmentedA
Yeah, he's got the stars, but they've got their own

Solar systems.


And I really haven't figured out this part yet:


And I watch as he wards off the dark.
With the gift that the sun gave him.
And I learn from the moon what we are;
All alone.
But alone in a sea of lonely stars.

So go baby glow.


But I'm almost certain, that she ends the song with this chord: 0 0 0 10 9 10
