SLEEP - Rachel Sermanni

Chords by: ripeandruin
Tuning: Drop D
Capo on the 3rd fret.
Here are the chords played (chord names are written as though played without a capo, also, numbers
of the frets are relative to the position of the capo):
Dm = xx0231 (she actually plays x5776x, so she can nicely slide on the 1st finger (index finger) to play B))
B = x1333x (and then slide with 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger down a half note to play A major)
A = x02220
Follow this picking (this also seems to be the intro):
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------0-----------------------------|
B|--------6-----------6-----------3-----------3----------\2-----------2--------------2--------------|
G|--------7-----------7-----------3-----------3----------\2--------------------------2--------------|
D|-----7-----7-----7-----7-----3-----3-----3-----3----\2-----2-----2-----2------2----------2--------|
A|--5-----------5----------\1-----------1-----------0-----------0-----------0----------------------2|
E|-(0)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
\ - slide down
() - sometimes she plays that note and it's beautiful...
You see, I don't know how to use these funny tab notations, but I think you could understand the idea.
Oh yes, and she does something like this, too:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------2-------------2--------------------------------------6---------|
G|--------2-------------2--------------------------------------7---------| etc.
D|-----2-----2------2-------2-----2-------------------------7-----7------|
A|--0-----------0--------------0--------0-----0-----0---5-------------5--|
E|-----------------------------------5-----3-----2-----(0)---------------|
...so - lar sys - tem - ssssssssssssss...
But you can figure it out yourself by listening to the song.
Anyways, here are the lyrics and chords (not complete):
Dm B
Sleep baby sleep
A
I don't mind if you leave;
Dm B A
We will part in our dreams, let them come.
Dm B
I'll give you my skin
A
But you can't have within;
Dm B
Hold me tight as you like.
A Dm B A
I will leave you when the day is done.
Dm B
Wake with the dawn
A
Discover needles in my neck.
Dm B A
Sleep it bade me turn my back on you.
Dm B
I'll watch your chest
A
As it rises with each breath
Dm B
But you still breathe beneath a river
A Dm B A
that I'll never even wade through.
Dm B
Give me your cup and
A
I'll give you mine.
Dm B
But I'll prise it from your fingers
A
in surrender to the night.
Dm B
The moon is bright
A
And hangs alone.
Dm B A
Yeah, he's got the stars, but they've got their own
Solar systems.
And I really haven't figured out this part yet:
And I watch as he wards off the dark.
With the gift that the sun gave him.
And I learn from the moon what we are;
All alone.
But alone in a sea of lonely stars.
So go baby glow.
But I'm almost certain, that she ends the song with this chord: 0 0 0 10 9 10
I hope you found this useful. Please, feel free to improve this tab.
