Recorded in Ebm, but played in Em tuned down. I play in C#m.
| C#m | F#m |
| When I wake up early in the | morning |
| E | A | E | G#7 |
| Lift my | head, | I’m still | yawning |
| C#m | F#m |
| When I’m in the middle of a | dream |
| E | A | E | A | |
| I | stay in | bed, and | float up | stream |
| E | F#m |
| Please don’t wake me, | no don’t shake me |
| G#m | F#m |
| Leave me where I | am |
Hard stop after this line
| Amaj7 | |
| I’m only | sleeping |
| C#m | F#m |
| Everybody seems to think I’m | lazy |
| E | A | E | G#7 |
| I don’t | mind, I | think they’re | crazy |
| C#m | F#m |
| Running everywhere at such a | speed |
| E | A | E | A | |
| ‘ | Til they | find, | there’s no | need |
| E | F#m |
| Please don’t spoil my | day |
| G#m | F#m | |
| I’m miles a | way, and after | all |
Hard stop after this line
| Amaj7 | |
| I’m only | sleeping |
Let ring
| C#m |
Hard stop on “taking”
| Bm | C#7 | F#m |
| Keeping an eye on the | world going by my | window |
| F#m/E |
| Taking my time |
| C#m | F#m |
| Lying there and staring at the c | eiling |
| E | A | E | G#7 | |
| W | aiting | for a | sleepy | feeling |
Solo on the second half of a verse
| C#m | F#m | E | A | E | A | A |
| E | F#m |
| Please don’t spoil my | day |
| G#m | F#m | |
| I’m miles a | way, and after | all |
Hard stop after this line
| Amaj7 | |
| I’m only | sleeping |
Let ring
| C#m |
| Bm | C#7 | F#m |
| Keeping an eye on the | world going by my | window |
| F#m/E |
| Taking my time |
| C#m | F#m |
| When I wake up early in the | morning |
| E | A | E | G#7 |
| Lift my | head, | I’m still | yawning |
Note extra chord at the end here
| C#m | F#m |
| When I’m in the middle of a | dream |
| E | A | E | A | F#m | |
| I | stay in | bed and | float up | stream |
| E | F#m |
| Please don’t wake me, | no don’t shake me |
| G#m | F#m |
| Leave me where I | am |
