A SONG FOR SLEEPING BY STP, FROM THE ALBUM "SHAIN-GRA-LA-DE-DA"
4/4 time in key of B major (Goes through F# mixolydian and B minor) 
Tempo is moderato

Yet another great little (if relatively unknown) acoustic number from STP

This is solely my own interpretation.  I sat down at the piano, played along
with the album and figured out all the chords and then translated them to a
guitar format.

Verse 1:
(F# mixolydian)  

|: F#  	/	  /  	/	 |  F# 	/	  /  	/	 :|
(first time with no vocals)

   Finally I've met you...		

| E  	/	  /  	/	 |  E  	/	  /  	/	  |
| F#  	/	  /  	/	 |  F#  /	  /  	/	  |
| E  	/	  /  	/	 |  E  	/	  /  	/	  | 
| F#  	/	  /  	/	 |  F# 	/	  /  	/	  |


Pre-Chorus:  (Switch to B minor, arpeggio)

(b-d-f#-a)				    (a-d-f#)
| Bm7  	/	  /  	/	 |  Asus  /	  /  	/	  |

			    And when you  lie...               
  (g-d-f#)				 (b-d-f#-a)
| Gmajor7/	  /  	/	 |  Bm7 /	  /  	/	F#|


Chorus:  (Switch to B major)

| G  	/	  /  	/	 |  B  	/	  /  	/	  |

        While I'm watching you grow...	

| E  	/	  /  	/	 |  A  	/	  /  	/	  |
| B  	/	  /  	/	 |  B  	/	  /  	/	  |
| E  	/	  /  	/	 |  A  	/	  /  	/	  |
| B  	/	  /  	/	 | 


Verse 2:  (Switch to F# mixolydian)

|: F#  	/	  /  	/	 |  F# 	/	  /  	/	 :|

   So will you tell me...     

| E  	/	  /  	/	 |  E  	/	  /  	/	  |
| F#  	/	  /  	/	 |  F#  /	  /  	/	  |
| E  	/	  /  	/	 |  E  	/	  /  	/	  |
| F#  	/	  /  	/	 |  F# 	/	  /  	/	  |

  (g-d-f#)				 (b-d-f#-a)
| Gmajor7/	  /  	/	 |  Bm7  /	  /  	/	F#|


Chorus:  (Switch to B major)

| G  	/	  /  	/	 |  B  	/	  /  	/	  |

         While I'm watching you grow...	

| E  	/	  /  	/	 |  A  	/	  /  	/	  |
