Semisonic- Singing In My Sleep

Tab 002
By Ryan M. Smith (fighterx2@aol.com)

Tuscaloosa, Alabama U.S.A. ROLL TIDE!

The intros seem incomplete as well as the tabs for this song.
I thought I'd put a much more correct version here.
Any corrections greatly appreciated.

You could use basic chords on this, but it didnt sound
as good to me, and besides these power chords are easier.

I provided both sets of chords. Use whatever you like best.

Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

----------------------------------------------------

CHORDS:
Note: C#m is also called D Flat minor

Basic:
E (0 1 2 2 0 0)
B (x 2 4 4 4 0) OR (x x 4 4 4 0)
C#m (0 0 2 1 2 0)
A (x 0 2 2 2 0)
F# (0 0 4 3 2 2)


Power Chords:
E (0 7 9 9 x x)
B (7 9 9 x x x)
C#m (9 11 11 x x x)
A (5 7 7 x x x)
F# (2 4 4 x x x)

----------------------------------------------------

INTROS: (I put a few different ways, you decide your favorite)

Intro For Basic Chord Approach:

e|--------|--------|---------|
B|-0-2-4--|-0-2-4--|-0-2-4-5-|
G|--------|--------|---------|
D|--------|--------|---------|
A|--------|--------|---------|
E|--------|--------|---------|


Intro For Power Chord Approach:

e|--------|--------|---------| e|--------|--------|---------|
B|-----4--|-----4--|-----4-5-| B|--------|--------|---------|
G|-4-6----|-4-6----|-4-6-----| OR G|--------|--------|---------|
D|--------|--------|---------| D|-----6--|-----6--|-----6-7-|
A|--------|--------|---------| A|-7-9----|-7-9----|-7-9-----|
E|--------|--------|---------| E|--------|--------|---------|

The first power chord intro I think is a little easier than the second,
but the second is closer to the first power chord "E" and also therefore
may be more accurate to the recording.
