Sleeping in the Flowers

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.

I got a crush,   copy shop clerk
Am               F            C(hit C chord and quickly mute)
But she won't look up at me
AmAm Piano Chord 
                  FF Piano Chord 

Don't want to be known as the freak
C                 E                   Am(hit and mute)
Who just comes around to catch her eye

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

I got a ride, home with a drunk guy
Am       F                    C(hit and mute)
How ungreatful I must have seemed

He showed me how, to spin my head round and round
