I think any chordie member can figure out where this comes from. Hope you like it. j

Sleep Mystery Jeff Gilpin - March 14, 2007


Verse 1


[Am]Strumming along to songs from my [F]past


Remembering [G]all my yester[Dsus2]days


Can [Am]make me for[F]get the passing [Dsus2]time


[Am]As the passing night moves [F]onward


[G]My eyelids start to [Dsus2]waver


As do my [Am]fingers, my [D]voice and my [E]rhymes




verse 2


[Am]Eventually I’ll look [F]up


[G]Just to check the [Dsus2]time


[Am]Surprised once [F]again at how it’s [Dsus2]flown


I’ll [Am]tidy up and shut things [F]down


And [G]shake my head [Dsus2]again


[Am]Thinking about this [D]problem that I [E]own




Chorus


I’d [Am]rather sleep a [F]goodnights sleep


Than [G]almost any[Am]thing


So [Am]please someone [F]please explain to [G]me


How I [Am]seem to go with[F]out


[G]Almost every [Am]night


I [Am]swear it is a [G]mystery to [Am]me





verse 3


I get [Am]caught up in the [F]rhythm


And I [G]just can’t help my[Dsus2]self


I’ll be [Am]playing or writing or [F]reading or a bit of all [Dsus2]three


I [Am]want to stop I [F]swear I do


But for some [G]reason I just [Dsus2]don’t


[Am]Even thought I [D]know how tomorrow will [E]be




Chorus




verse 4


So if [Am]that’s my worse [F]problem


Then I [G]guess it’s not so [Dsus2]bad


So [Am]long as I can [F]catch up after a [Dsus2]while


[Am]This is my [F]look away


[G]From my daily [Dsus2]grind




And [Am]helps me keep my [D]sanity in [E]style




Chorus X 2

Re: Sleep Mystery

Right on the money, Jeff - As evidenced by the fact that I have just read and played "Sleep Mystery" at a little past 11pm my time and I have been up and busy since 5am.


I like the song, but will give a more rested look tomorrow because it is time for this geezer to toddle off to bed . . . James

Re: Sleep Mystery

Hi Jeff,


I love the chord sequence to this one, and the sentiment behind it I know only too well. This is a song I would very much like to hear you sing to get the right melody and tempo.


Here I go again trying to get someone to perform their own songs.

Re: Sleep Mystery

Hey Roger,


Shoot me a message on my myspace page. I recorded a crappy, screwed up version of the first 2 verses and chorus of Sleep Mystery but you'll get the idea of how the chords fit. My first wack a recording so its a nervous, screwed up stinking .wav file. I need to get a good music suite to record better. Even so you'll get the idea and I really do like the song. My wife says it sounds better slower but I think it's okay fast too. I couldn't see how to attach it to the myspace message system so shoot me your email if you can.


Cheers,


Jeff/jets
