Sleepy Town by Jim White
Sleepy Town
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G
I whisper beautiful secrets into
C
The drainpipes at night
G
For the old folks while they're sleeping
NC
Something to help them with their dreams
[Verse 2]
G
I climb the wall to the cemetery
NC
Lay down on the grave of my father
NC
I hear him asking me for forgiveness
NC
So I close my eyes in prayer
[Chorus]
G C
And then a rainy-rainy-rain falls down
G C
A cool rainy-rain upon my head
G C
It makes the river overflow it's banks
F C G
And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town
[Verse 3]
G C
I pour whiskey in the honeycomb
G C
It makes the bees all turn to angels
G C
I watch 'em fly off into heaven
F C
Disappear where I can't follow
G C
And I would write Jesus a letter
G C
But I hear that he don't speak English...
G C
So instead I'll just throw these cobblestones
F C
Until I ring that old church bell
[Chorus]
G C
Until the rainy-rainy-rain fall down
G C
Cool rainy-rain upon my head
G C
It makes the river overflow it's banks
F C
And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town
G C G D
In Sleepy-town, you let the wild wind blow away your name
G C G D C
In Sleepy town, you let the healing rain just wash your pain away
[Verse 4]
G C
I see a light on in the station
G C
Yeah someone is waiting for a train
G C
And I envy them their leaving
F C
As I turn to head back home again
G C
For soon the morning sun will rise
G C
And this little town will open up its eyes.
G C
And return from the land where I've never been
F C
From a Sleepy-town, that's free
[Chorus]
G C
From all that rainy-rainy-rain fall down
G C
Cool rainy-rain upon my head
G C
It makes the river overflow it's banks
F C
And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town
G C G D
In Sleepy-town, you let the wild wind blow away your name
G C G D C
In Sleepy town, you let the healing rain just wash your pain away
