Behind the Wall of Sleep -- The Smithereens
-------------------------------------------
Intro: D Em (2x)

 D       Em                                   G
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
          A                       D   Em
She had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzed
 D       Em                                 G
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
          A                        D    Em
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul

Chorus:
        G              Em                G           Em
Now I lie in bed and think of her, sometimes I even weep
         C              D                Em
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep

Well, she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman.  Now I am her greatest fan
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them

(Chorus)
(Solo over verse)
(Chorus)

Got your number from a friend of mine who lives in your hometown
Called you up to have a drink, your roommate said you weren't around
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to let you know I'm not like them

(Chorus)
Behind the wall of sleep (3x)

Outro:
D Em(4x)
