Sleeper 1972 Manchester Orchestra
(Verse)
B C# D G* G/F# E/A
When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
G* G/F# E/A G/F# C# B A G
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.
B C# D G* G/F# E/A
My mother lies alone on her back at night,
G* G/F# E/A G/F# C# B A G
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep.
B C# D G* G/F# E/A
When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds,
G* G/F# E/A G/F# C# B A G
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep.
B C# D G* G/F# E/A
The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise.
G* G/F# E/A G/F# C# B A G
To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping.

[G]I still s[A]ee you ins[B]ide of this G[A]od-awful h[G]ouse
