A SONG FOR SLEEPING BY STP, FROM THE ALBUM "SHAIN-GRA-LA-DE-DA"
4/4 time in key of B major (Goes through F# mixolydian and B minor)
Tempo is moderato

Yet another great little (if relatively unknown) acoustic number from STP

This is solely my own interpretation. I sat down at the piano, played along
with the album and figured out all the chords and then translated them to a
guitar format.

Verse 1:
(F# mixolydian)

|: F# / / / | F# / / / :|
(first time with no vocals)

Finally I've met you...

| E / / / | E / / / |
| F# / / / | F# / / / |
| E / / / | E / / / |
| F# / / / | F# / / / |


Pre-Chorus: (Switch to B minor, arpeggio)

(b-d-f#-a) (a-d-f#)
| Bm7 / / / | Asus / / / |

And when you lie...
(g-d-f#) (b-d-f#-a)
| Gmajor7/ / / | Bm7 / / / F#|


Chorus: (Switch to B major)

| G / / / | B / / / |

While I'm watching you grow...

| E / / / | A / / / |
| B / / / | B / / / |
| E / / / | A / / / |
| B / / / |


Verse 2: (Switch to F# mixolydian)

|: F# / / / | F# / / / :|

So will you tell me...

| E / / / | E / / / |
| F# / / / | F# / / / |
| E / / / | E / / / |
| F# / / / | F# / / / |


Pre-Chorus: (Switch to B minor, arpeggio)

(b-d-f#-a) (a-d-f#)
| Bm7 / / / | Asus / / / |

And when you lie...
(g-d-f#) (b-d-f#-a)
| Gmajor7/ / / | Bm7 / / / F#|


Chorus: (Switch to B major)

| G / / / | B / / / |

While I'm watching you grow...

| E / / / | A / / / |
| B / / / | B / / / |
| E / / / | A / / / |
| B / / / |
