Intro:  Gm   F6   D  D7  D   x4 

Gm      F6       D       
Cracks rack the windows 
Gm      F6       D      
Howls hold the floor 
Gm      F6       D       
Rains rot the rafters 
                A7        D              
And do you just have to snore? 
        Gm      F6      D  
It's a most inclement climate 
         Gm    F6       D  
for the season of the night 
         Gm            F6      D  
Is that mouse playing football, oh 
    A7                          D      D D7 D  
I thought they didn't like the light? 
   
         Em                  
And the dawn comes sneaking up 
                          Em (7th fret) 
When it thinks I'm not looking 
                   G7 
I am starting to grieve, man 
I used to know but now I believe, man. 
They tell me sleep is a gas 
and if I want to lay down 
         C  
But I'm sorry I woke you 
   D7                         G7 
I mean I've got the no sleep blues. 

          Gm   F6       D       
There's mayhem in this mansion 
           Gm        F6     D       
Since the cows were coming home 
       Gm     F6   D       
With delirium no sleepum 
       A7            D       
In a cloud of nylon foam 
        Gm   F6         D       
But release scours the outhouse 
       Gm        F6        D       
And a hard rain sears the sky 
           Gm             F6       D       
But if you let the pigs decide it 
          A7              D   D  D7  D 
They will put you in the sty. 
  
         Em                  
And the dawn comes sneaking up 
                         Em (7th fret) 
When it thinks I'm not looking 
                   G7 
I am starting to grieve, man 
I used to know but now I believe, man. 
They tell me sleep is a gas 
and if I want to lay down 
         C  
But I'm sorry I woke you 
   D7                         G7 
I mean I've got the no sleep blues. 

   Gm              F6       D       
I think I'll get a picture 
       Gm               F6        D       
And I think I'll put it on a nail. 
             Gm  F6   D       
I think I'll geeeet another one 
    A7           D 
And put it in a pail. 
        Gm      F6       D       
But the pail got so rusty 
            Gm         F6      D       
I called it red, red, red for fun 
        Gm            F6       D       
And I laughed like a leaver 
          A7               D   D  D7  D 
till you ought to seen it run. 

   
         Em                  
And the dawn comes sneaking up 
                          Em (7th fret) 
When it thinks I'm not looking 
                   G7 
I am starting to grieve, man 
I used to know but now I believe, man. 
They tell me sleep is a gas 
and if I want to lay down 
         C  
But I'm sorry I woke you 
   D7                         G7 
I mean I've got the no sleep blues. 

     Gm  F6      D       
The size of the future  
    Gm      F6      D       
declared itself no part 
  Gm         F6       D       
Aloof like a Sultan  
        A7             D 
in the autumn of your heart 
         Gm           F6       D       
But the heart got so hearty 
         Gm    F6       D       
that it pulled for the shore 
         Gm      F6          D       
And the sailors fired a big salute 
        A7                 D 
and it made my ears quite sore. 

   
         Em                  
And the dawn comes sneaking up 
                          Em (7th fret) 
When it thinks I'm not looking 
                   G7 
I am starting to grieve, man 
I used to know but now I believe, man. 
They tell me sleep is a gas 
and if I want to lay down 
         C  
But I'm sorry I woke you 
   D7                         G7 
I mean I've got the no sleep blues. 

   Gm     F6       D       
I mixed stones and water 
         Gm      F6       D       
just to see what it would do 
         Gm    F6       D       
And the water it got stoney 
          A7               D       
and the stones got watery too 
      Gm                F6      D       
So I mixed my feet with water 
        Gm        F6       D       
just to see what could be seen 
         Gm           F6     D       
And the water it got dirty 
         A7                   D    D  D7  D 
and the feet they got quite clean. 

   
         Em                  
And the dawn comes sneaking up 
                          Em (7th fret) 
When it thinks I'm not looking 
                   G7 
I am starting to grieve, man 
I used to know but now I believe, man. 
They tell me sleep is a gas 
and if I want to lay down 
         C  
But I'm sorry I woke you 
   D7                         G7 
I mean I've got the no sleep blues.
