Sleeping in the Flowers
by They Might Be Giants
Transcribed by Adam Lane
This doesn't sound totally right at parts, but it's a good guide. If you=
can come up with anything better for the chorus, please repost it. Also,=
I don't have time to figure out the solo. If there's any interest, maybe=
someone could post that too.
VERSE
Am F C E
I got a crush, copy shop clerk
Am F C(hit C chord and quickly mute)
But she won't look up at me
Am F
Don't want to be known as the freak
C E Am(hit and mute)
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
C F Dm E
You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too

Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around
C F ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]=

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
Solo(Play the chords for the verse over the solo)
Chorus(Extend the chorus to fade with this...)
A D
We could be sleeping in the flowers =
Bm C
Tell my boss that I've been fired
A D
We'll be sleeping in the flowers
Bm C
tell my boss i'm fired

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
