Behind A Wall Of Sleep chords by The Smithereens

Chords with lyrics

Great song! The original is in Eb, if you want to play along, just tune down a
half step. The kick-in-the-pants here is the D MajorD to Em. At the start of the verse,
the beat is on the 3 and the 4 of the bar. The other D MajorD to E minorEm (I've indicated by
parentheses) the beat is on the "and 4 and" (8th notes) of the bar.
Intro  (D MajorD)   E minorEm   (D MajorD)   E minorEm
Verse 1
D MajorD      E minorEm                      G+G
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
A minorAm                       (D MajorD)   E minorEm
She had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzed
D MajorD                              E minorEm G+G
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
A minorAm                         (D MajorD) E minorEm
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul
Chorus
G+G               E minorEm
Now I lie in bed and think of her
G+G             E minorEm
Sometimes I even weep
    A minorAm               D MajorD         E minorEm
Then I dream of her behind a wall of sleep
Verse 2
D MajorD    E minorEm                          G+G
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
A minorAm                           (D MajorD)   E minorEm
And she stood just like Bill Wyman, now I am her biggest fan
D MajorD    E minorEm                       G+G
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
A minorAm                     (D MajorD) E minorEm
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them
Chorus
Verse 3
D MajorD    E minorEm   G+G    A minorAm   (D MajorD)   E minorEm

(Instrumental)

Verse 4
D MajorD    E minorEm                              G+G
Got your number from a friend of mine who lives in your home town
A minorAm                         (D MajorD) E minorEm
Called you up to have a drink your roommate said you weren't around
D MajorD                          E minorEm G+G
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
A minorAm                            (D MajorD)  E minorEm
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them
Chorus

Behind a wall of sleep
