THE SIDEWINDER SLEEPS TONITE R.E.M. D-D-G, C-G-Am, D-D-G, C-G-Am D-D-G, C-G-Am, F Em F C This here is the place where I will be staying F There isn't a number, you can call the payphone C F Let it ring a long long, long long time Am C If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more F C O-o-o-o-o-o-h F Am D-D If I don't pick up, pick up, the sidewinder sleep-sleep-sleeps in a coil Chorus ------ D-D G C-G Am Call me when you try to wake her up, Call me when you try to wake her D-D G C-G Am Call me when you try to wake her up, Call me when you try to wake her D-D G C-G Am Call me when you try to wake her up, Call me when you try to wake her There's scratches all around the coin-slot like a Heartbeat, baby, trying to wake up But this machine can only swallow money You can't play a path by computer design, but just another stupid, stupid sign Tell he-e-e-e-e-r, Tell her she can kiss my ass and laugh And say that you were only kidding, that way she'll know That its really really really really me - me Chorus Baby this soup doesn't really grab me Today I need something more sub-stub-sub-substantial A can of beans, some black-eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from Doctor Zeuss Chorus Bm Am The Cat in the Hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way Bm Am Always had a smile and a reason to pretend, Bm Am C Their world's flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream Em D-D The sidewinder sleeps-on-his-back Chorus ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
