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 A )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))= ))))))))))))))))))))))))))D Bm E Then we float into the harbor, With just piers and boats around C F )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))= ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))Dm E 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...)
