Sleep

[Verso 1]
 
F#m             G 
The pages fell, upon the floor 
F#m              G 
The silence was, a quiet roar 
Bm                A 
With weary hands, I laid against 
Bm               F             F#m 
I swear I heard, what morning said 
Bm  F#m 
Sleep 
Bm  F#m 
Sleep 
 


[Verso 2]
 
F#m              G 
I tried in vain, to capture sleep 
F#m              G 
As dawn and day, begin to creep 
Bm                     A 
Up through the window, over head 
Bm              F             F#m 
I swear I hear, what morning said 
Bm  F#m 
Away 
Bm  F#m 
Away 
 


[Verso 3]
 
F#              G 
I lost a tress, of my aching frame 
F#m                   G 
The plow and harness, call my name 
Bm                   A 
The sun was high, so high into the day 
Bm              F                 F#m 
And now I hear, what the harness said 
Bm       F#m 
It said Sleep 
Bm     F#m 
Oh I agree 
 


[Verso 4]
 
F#m                  G 
The shadows whisper, day is done 
F#m            G 
My grating is, into the sun 
Bm                A 
The bible showed, the fate I read 
Bm              F               F#m 
I swear I hear, what death had said 
Bm  F#m 
Sleep 
Bm  F#m 
Sleep
