Talking In Your Sleep
                                ( G. Lightfoot )


Original key 'D'
Capo to second fret



|C   C/B    |Am     Am/G      |F     Fmaj7      |G            |


C             C/B             Am
  I heard you talking in your sleep

         Am/G                 F      Fmaj7
Is there anything that I can do

                      C              G
I don't believe we've had a word all day

          C
'bout any thing at all

C              C/B            Am
   I heard you talking in the night

       Am/G         F               Fmaj7
That's right, yes I heard ya call

                      C                 G
Though I could hardly hear the name you spoke

              C               G
It's a name I don't recall

F-5                    C/E
   I heard you softly whisper

          F-5    E        D/F#  E/G#
I reached out to hold you near  me

Am               Am/G       F         C/E
  Then from your lips there came that secret

F       C/E             Gsus4    G
  I was not supposed to know

C              C/B             Am
   I heard you talking in your sleep

         Am/G                F      Fmaj7
Is there anything that I can say

                      C              G
I don't believe we've had a word all day

         C
'bout anything at all


|C   C/B    |Am     Am/G      |F     Fmaj7     |    C    |G         |
