Behind The Wall Of Sleep chords by The Smithereens (Ver. 2)

Guitar chords with lyrics

Absolutely great song by the Smithereens, and easy to play and sing.  The chorus
could be subdivided more but this charts a solid course.  There is some controvery
about the girl named.  The right name is Jeannie Shrimpton, an "it girl" from the
1960s, check her out on Google Images.  Good Luck,  John Pineau

G
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
        Em
She had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzed
                                         G
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
       Em
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul
CHORUS:
Em
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Em
Sometimes I even weep
       Em
Then I dream of her behind a wall of sleep


G
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
        Em
And she stood just like Bill Wyman, now I am her biggest fan
                                     G
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
         Em
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not one of them

[CHORUS]

G
Got your number from a friend of mine who lives in your home town
           Em
Called you up to have a drink your roomate said you weren't around
                                     G
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
         Em
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them

[CHORUS]
Em
Behind a wall of sleep
Em
Behind a wall of sleep
Em
Behind a wall of sleep
