I`m Only Sleeping
(i think this should be played with a capo on 4... otherwise start with
Bm and it will do fine- top line are the chord forms, bottom line is in
the right key [at least the recording I have])
Bm Em D G D F#7
D#m G#m F# B F# A#7
When I wake up early in the morning/lift my head I`m still yawning
(you get the idea...)
D#m G#m F# B F# B G#m
When I`m in the middle of a dream/Stay in bed Float upstream
F# G#m A#m G#m
Please don`t wake me/no don`t shake me/leave me where I am
F#maj7 G#m (little bass thing G#/B/D#/B somewhere)
I`m only sleeping...
(bridge part, after verses 2 and 3 I believe...)
C#m7 D#7 G#m
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window, taking my time
2. Everybody seems to think I`m lazy/I don`t mind/I think they`re crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed/`til they find/There`s no need
Please don`t spoil my day/I`m miles away/and after all
I`m only sleeping...
3. Lying there and staring at the ceiling/Waiting for/a sleepy feeling
Please don`t spoil my day/I`m miles away/And after all
I`m only sleeping...

Знаете ли вы, что...
- From Revolver (1966). John played the guitar part forwards so that reversed it would sound right. One of the first uses of backwards recording in pop.
