I Can't Sleep by Steve Goodman
I Can't Sleep
Fm6/D ----- x x 0 5 6 4
A' -------- 5 7 7 6 5 5
D' -------- 5 5 6 6 6 5
G --------- 3 5 5 4 3 3
G# -------- 4 6 6 5 4 4
This is based on his live version from the Easter Tapes. Goodman arpeggiates the first verse, and then plucks
or strums the rest of the song in 6/8 time. As noted above, when he goes to the A and the D in the bridge,
he slides up to them in F position and plays them as barre chords at the 5th fret, then plays the G and G#
barred at the 3rd and 4th respectively.
F C
Last night I stayed up late to watch the sunrise
C7 F
It afforded a wonderful view
F7 Bb
Count the sheep 'til I cry
A A7 Dm
Count the times you said goodbye
Fm6/D C7
And I can't sleep when I can't sleep with you
F C
There's no need to think you'd remember
C7 F
A love like some forgotten I.O.U.
F7 Bb
I've been watchin' the dawn
A A7 Dm
Every night since you're gone
Fm6/D C7 F
And I can't sleep when I can't sleep with you
C C7
Oh babe
F
I'm so lonely
C C7 F (F G G#)
Now I'm wonderin' what I'm gonna do
A' D'
All of my life I've been dreamin' a sweet dream
G G# C7
How was I to know that dream was you
F C
I stayed up late to watch the sunrise
C7 F
And I'll stay up late tomorrow night, too
F7 Bb
Count the sheep 'til I cry
A A7 Dm
Count the times you said goodbye
Fm6/D C7 F
And I can't sleep when I can't sleep with you
C C7
Oh babe
F
I'm so lonely
C C7 F (F G G#)
Now I'm wonderin' what I'm gonna do
A' D'
You don't have to wake me when it's over
G G# C7
Now I know I can't get over you
F C
Last night I stayed up late to watch the sunrise
C7 F
And I'll stay up late tomorrow night, too
F7 Bb
Hear that early bird call
A A7 Dm
Ain't it hard when you fall
Fm6/D C7 F
I can't sleep when I can't sleep with you
Fm6/D C7 F
I can't sleep when I can't sleep with you
