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.
