The wonderful last song on "The Bedside Drama". As with any Of Montreal song,
there are almost as many chords as there are words; I tried to be as detailed
with the chords as I could, but I may have missed or misinterpreted a few. Listen
along with his voice and try to add or subtract notes according to the melody,
and change the chords to suit you. (n/c) means stop playing and sing. I may
easily be wrong about the capo, i didnt realize my guitar was a half step sharp
when I transcribed this. If anyone comes up with a regular version they should
totally put it on the internet.
Intro: Bm Db
A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G But you're unable to touch your loved ones Ab A Ebdim Bm Db Give them kisses or see them smile at you A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G But you give up your whole life's work Ab A Ebdim Bm Db And never can reverse the bad things that you did B E While alive you still have hope D D That when you die it might be better Eb (n/c) Bb Eb When you die you are dead C Bb D Eb And you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better Bm C7b5 I hope it's better A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G Though you can't feel the warmth of summer Ab A Ebdim Bm Db Smell the flowers of spring, or drink cider in the fall A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G Though it's too late to say the words Ab A Ebdim Bm Db You wanted them to hear when you didn't have the nerve B E D D You get to spend eternity thinking about your life Eb (n/c) Bb Eb Think of all the time that is C Bb D Eb Cuz eternity is forever, is forever, is forever Bm C7b5 What will I do forever? F Bb Eb At this time there is nothing you can change Cm Dm Bb G# You can only sit and watch and hope they understand
(evil noises here)
A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G Am A Because there isn't anything else to do but sleep Ebdim Bm Db I feel sorry for the dead
Outro: strum A and sing hula's for as long as you please.
