Tab: "Sleep of the Blessed" by Glen Phillips
Transcribed by michael mazur

Capo IV

this song essentially consists of straight chords, but there's
lots of variation thrown onto practically every chord. i've used
the convention that A(sus2) represents an A chord that alternates
back and forth to an Asus2... you'll have to listen to hear how
each chord handles that sort of thing...


Intro: A(sus2)


     A(sus2)
i've done it again

         E
made spectacular claims

    G(add9)               D          E(sus4)
and lied in the name of a good love

  A(sus2)
i think i recall

        C#(/G#)
someone brought me here

        D(/A)
but the memory's not clear

     A(sus4)
just what it was

  E(sus4)        D(/A) (with the tab below)
a good love... a good love

   D(/A)                                              Bm

   you define yourself by your company

by the promises you make

        G
and the ones that you keep

          F#m                   Esus4
sleep the sleep of the blessed

dream the dreams of the whole

forget when you wake how far you've fallen

        A(sus2)
you can blow me a kiss

       E
if you think it brings luck

         G(add9)
it's the faith that makes it work

   D                  E
so what the fuck? why not?

sleep the sleep of the blessed
