Sleeping In The Flowers
VERSE
Am F C E
I got a crush, copy shop clerk

Who just comes around to catch her eye
CHORUS
A D Bm E
We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon

I declare that I am England, You declare that I have drowned
INTERLUDE
(This part is tough to show rythm as there are no words, but basically
the guitar just plays one note on the high E string)
e5-5-5-55-55-5-55-5-5-5-55-55-5-5e This is the rythm I use with each =
dash or 5 Equals a sixteenth note
but I think you can figure it out
Then the bass does somthing like this:
G-------------------0-|----------------0-----|G
D---------------2--2--|------------2--2------|D
A---0---3---5---------|0-0-3---5-------------|A
E---------------------|----------------------|E
Repeat these figures twice, then back to the verse
Am F C E
I got a ride, home with a drunk guy
Am F C(hit and mute)
How ungreatful I must have seemed
Am F C E
He showed me how, to spin my head round and round
Chorus and interlude
