ROBERT WYATT - HEAPS OF SHEEPS
from the 1997 album "Shleep"
Music and Lyrics by Alfreda Benge, Robert Wyatt, and Brian Eno
tabbed by Tha Funkinator (dwarfmuncher(at)gmail.com)

NOTES:
A augmentedA lot of this song involves I-IV vamping that I wouldn't quite consider a chord change
(in this case, C#C# to F#F#). Play C#C# as xx666x:, then hammer on the middle and ring finger
 in an Am7Am7 shape like xx867x:


Verse 1:
 C#C#    F#F# C#C#                      F#F# C#C#
I realized my fist was clenched, I stretched my fingers to re___ - lax
C#C#      F#F#   C#C#     F#F#    C#C#
  Still not sleep - y, I tried counting sheep
F#7F#7                      C#C#
One by one, leapt across the fence constructed for them
F#7F#7                    C#C#
Right to left, across the fence I had constructed
E MajorE                   C#C#
Having jumped, they refused further direction

Verse 2:
 C#C#        F#F#   C#C#               F#F# C#C#
Each sheep where it land - ed, refusing to exit, remained
        F#F#  C#C#                  F#F# C#C#
Creating a vast wri - thing heap growing fast on the land
F#7F#7                  C#C#
Try as I might, I could not stop them entering, once again,
F#7F#7               C#C#
Try as they might, not one could leave the stead
E MajorE                       C#C#
I realize my fists were clenched, I stretch my fingers...

Verse 3:
 C#C#        F#F#   C#C#               F#F# C#C#
Each sheep where it land - ed, refusing to exit, remained
        F#F#  C#C#                  F#F# C#C#
Creating a vast wri - thing heap growing quickly at one side
F#7F#7               C#C#
Try as they might, not one could leave the stead
F#7F#7               C#C#
Try as they might, not one could leave the stead
E MajorE                      C#C#
No longer daring to close my eyes, still not sleepy

CODA:
C#C#            F#F# C#C#
 Heaps of sheeps, heaps of sheeps... repeat:
 C#C#                                C#/G# C#C#
