   *** SONG: Do You Sleep   Author: Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories ***

      Do you Sleep by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories off the Tails album and
      the Purple accoustic tape.  I'm pretty sure both are identical.
      I had a little bit of help doing this from the Piano music.  Some
      Of the chords didn't sound right, and During live performances I
      have seen I tried my best to figure out what is being played.  whatever.Chords

                                   (right here the electrit guitar just
                                   appegiates the F# and Asus chords).
     Here Play the G and A chords as open stringed chords
     G  355400   and    A 577600    But with a normal E chord

     And also the B, E and A pattern as open chords
     E  079900    and   B   799800    and   A  577600


      E                   G  A
    I saw you as you walked across my room.  You looked out the window you
           G      E  Esus E                           G  A
    looked at the moon.  And you sat on the corner of my bed, and you smoked
                                 G  E Esus  E                B    E          B
    with the ghost in the back of my head.  Now I don't know, and I don't care,
    E       B        A         B   E          B      E          B E       B
    if I ever will see you again.  I don't know, and I don't care if I ever will
    A          B
    be there,  oh......

    (from here go back to the Appegiated riff fromt he begging and do that
    again, then proceed with these chords)

        A#4          C#m                 A#4             C#m
    You kick my foot under the table.  I kick you back; I can't say I'm able
       A#4           C#m             G#m7    A     A#4      C#m
    to stand for you or fall for you ever a gain.  Wish for a perfect setting?
    A#4          C#m              A#4           C#m           G#m7    A
    Wishing that I am letting you take me where you want me all over again?
    F#m7       G#m7     C#m7  F#m7    G#m7  C#m  ?   A      E               B
    You can't give your self  absolutely to some one else.  And i don't know
        E          B E      B          A        B   E           B     E
    And I don't care if I ever will see you again.  I don't know, and I don't
        B E      B           A   B   E                  G  A
    care if I ever will be there.  I saw you as you walked across my room.
                                          G      E Esus E
    You looked out the window, you looked at the moon.  And you sat on the
              G  A                                                 G  E Esus E
    corner of my bed, and you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head.

    (from here it's back to the begging verse again followed by the opening
    intro to end the song with a C#5 open chord  x46600 .)

Song: Do you sleep?
Performer:  Lisa Loeb and the Nine Stories
Album: Tails

Transcribed by evan c. parker (ecpark@mail.wm.edu)

With modifications made by Glenn Huther (ghuth@netspace.net.au)

the opening sequence is just a picked version of the chords Bm
(224412)
and Em (022000).  if you can contort you hand into a good Bm (which 
i can't) then it shouldn't be a problem...

capo second fret

I debate that... My opinion is no capo, and the chords are.... C#m   A


The opening sequence is C#minor (X46654) and A (577655) bar chords 

Here I also have an alteration. I have noticed that the high notes
of the bar chords are left open.... I.e.  an A bar (577655) is played
(577600). Therefore chords throughout are....

C#m     (X46650)
A       (577600)
F#      (255400)
E       (022100)
Bm      (799800) so the open 1st and 2nd strings (B&E) can be played
*G#     (466544) dont play open 1st and 2nd.. sounds terrible!
*F#     (255422)
B       (X24440)
*A      (X02220)

The chords that are not played with the open 1st and 2nd are marked 
with an asterisk (*) below.
