Asleep Under Last Week's News
By Jeremy Enigk

This song has never appeared on any of Jeremy's solo albums, unless it's on a single
I'm not aware of.  I saw him play it last year at Lollapalooza '06, and found the video of
playing it on YouTube, so if this tab doesn't make sense to you, watch the video.  The 
angle is perfect to see what chords he's playing.
Standard tuning

Intro:

Abm  E

He does a little hammer-on/slide thing in between the F#m and E chords.  Just hammer on
sixth string sixth fret, and then slide up to the seventh fret.  Watch the video to get
timing exact.

While others ignore him and they,

Abm                       E
Come to be in their warm beds,

Abm                                    E
Dreaming of the next fortune they'll make by

Abm                   E
Sucking up to their boss

Abm                  E
We'll find our ignorance.

E                        Abm                     E
Brought down by a society ruled by white politicians.

Power, hunger and greed are what desroys him,

E                  Abm                            E
The newspaper bed man trying to find his life without a friend.

Abm                          E
While others ignore him and they,

Dreaming of the next fortune they'll make by
