Artist/Band: Krauss Alison Tabs
Song: Sleep On Tab
SONG: "Sleep On"
ARTIST: Alison Krauss
ALBUM: Now that I've found you: a collection
O.K. Here it is. I've figured most of this song out, but it is going to be
hard to explain how to play it. I believe that if you listen to the song,
you will be able to catch on. This is how I play it:
The chords are quite simple, BUT, just strumming the chords will not sound
right. You have to add some bass notes in there too!
(CAPO 2nd)
Try picking the intro like this (lowest note is bass note)
xx0232 xxx032 xx4232 xx2232 xx0232 xxx032 xx4232 strum xx2232
Now for the song, hit the bass note and strum (Boom-chick-chick).
D
xx0232 xxx032 xx4232 xx2232 xx0232 x4x232 x2x232 x00232
G D
3x0033 2x0033 0x0033 x20033 xx0232 x00232 xx0232 xx2232
(Repeat)
This is the chorus. (still boom-chick-chick)
A D A D
x02220 xx2220 xx0232 x00232 x02220 xx2220 xx0232 x00232
A G A
x02220 3x2220 2x2220 0x2220 320033 320033 strum 002220
(Got it? Or have I completely confused you? That was the best way I could
show you without having to tab the whole thing! Well, that's the way I play
it, and if you listen and play along with the song, you'll get it! Or else,
just try to play the bass notes along with the song and add when you figure
that out, add the rest of the chord) O.K., Here are the words.
(verse)
D
Could your heart ever be mine?
G D
Your arms hold me so close to you all throught the night
Your eyes gaze into mine
G D
Sayin' I should believe you, I always do, I don't know why
(chorus)
A D
Cause you taught me a lesson the hard way one time
A D
Told me you loved me, but then changed your mind
A G
I never told no one how I hurt down inside until now
D
Sleep on
Could your heart ever be mine
My arms hold you so close to me all through the night
My heart warned me this time
But I need to believe you, so I do, just for tonight
But you taught me a lesson the hard way one time
Promised to love me but then changed your mind
I never told no one how I hurt down inside until now
Sleep on
