Chords
(although I beleive the origional song uses Abmaj7,Ab also sounds similair enough and can be used as well!
feel free to stick with the origional, I'm just adding Ab to the chords so its a little easier and not as
clunky as having both on there. As always, chords with a "*" are optional!)
[Intro]
Eb F7 Ab Cm [x2]
[Verse 1]
Eb Sigh into your cup of coffee F7 as you watch the morning news Ab There goes your good day Cm There's the knot on the noose Eb Pop your pill and force a smile F7 Feign contentment for a while Ab Cm That's all you know how to do
[Chorus]
Eb When the wool is off your eyes F7 You'll stop counting sheep at night Ab Cm Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime Eb When the wool is off your eyes F7 You'll stop counting sheep at night Ab Cm Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
[Break]
Eb F7 Ab Cm
[Verse 2]
Eb Medicine to make you thin F7 But puts an end to your dreamin' Ab Cm Bleeding together, the nights seem to stretch on forever Eb Morning comes a day too soon F7 You're back inside your tiny room Ab Cm Waiting for something, so good at doing nothing
[Chorus]
Eb When the wool is off your eyes F7 You'll stop counting sheep at night Ab Cm Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime Eb When the wool is off your eyes F7 You'll stop counting sheep at night Ab Cm Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
[Break]
Eb F7 Ab Cm
[Verse 3]
Eb As the sunlight filters in F7 Then your daily dread sets in Ab Cm The cycle's beginning, and in your head alarms are ringing Eb Something in you's fast asleep F7 Afraid to be who you will be Ab Cm N.C It's a losing battle, so why are you still fighting?
[Chorus]
Eb When the wool is off your eyes F7 You'll stop counting sheep at night Ab Cm Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime Eb When the wool is off your eyes F7 You'll stop counting sheep at night Ab Cm Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
[Break]
Eb F7 Ab Cm
[Bridge]
Eb F7 Are you sleeping, are you sleeping Ab Cm Brother John? Eb F7 Bells are ringing, bells are ringing (Are you sleeping, are you sleeping) Ab Cm Ding, ding, dong (Brother John?) Eb F7 Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping (Bells are ringing, bells are ringing) Ab Cm Brother John? (Ding, ding, dong) Eb F7 Bells are ringing, bells are ringing (Are you sleeping, are you sleeping) Ab Cm Ding, ding dong (Brother John) Eb F7 Bells are ringing, bells are ringing Ab Cm Ding, ding, dong
[Outro]
Eb Ding, ding, ding, ding F7 Ding, ding, ding, ding Ab Cm Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong Eb Ding, ding, ding, ding F7 Ding, ding, ding, ding Ab Cm Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong Eb Ding, ding, ding, ding F7 Ding, ding, ding, ding Ab Cm Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong
