Date: Thu, 26 Mar 1998 05:26:52 PST **Only when I sleep** By the Corrs, from the album Talk on corners. Figured out by Simon Forsman. Some of the chords on this song is kinda odd, and I don't know what they're called. But on the bottom of this page I'll show you the tabs on theese chords. And in the end of the verses there's a guitar riff - check bottom of page. The bass is always going B, A, E, A on the verses, but the guitar sometimes (or always) go to the A6/Db-chord instead of the bass's A. So if you wanna variate: Instead of the A's on the verses, use the A6/Db-chord (see tab). And instead of the E's on the verses the guitar sometimes goes to some kind of E/Ab-chord... But if you're only using the guitar and no bass, you might aswell just play all the ordinary chords. Sounds better. There's a riff in the beginning of the song. I'll give you the tab on that riff (not the entire solo). Just a nice intro... m=minor Intro: riff 1... Bm... D7... E... Em... A... Verse 1: Bm A E Bm ... You're only just a dream boat, sailing in my head A E Bm You swim my secret oceans, of coral blue and red A E (bridge:)G^(see tab) Your smell is incense burning, your touch is silken yet D G^ It reaches through my skin, moving from within riff 2(tab) And it clutches at my breast... Chorus: Bm D7 But it's only when I sleep, see you in my dreams E Em A Got me spinning round and round, turning upside down Bm D7 But I only hear you breathe, somewhere in my sleep E Em A Got me spinning round and round, turning upside down Bm... But it's only when i sleep... Verse 2: A E Bm ... And when I wake from slumber, your shadow's disappeared A E Bm You breath is just the sea mist, surrounding my body A E (bridge:) G^(tab)... I'm working through the daytime, but when it's time to rest... D G^(tab) I'm lying in my bed, listening to my breath riff 2(tab)... Falling from the edge... Chorus. But it's only when I sleep... I see you in my... ... ... (stick:)G^(tab) Bm/G#(tab) A6sus(tab) ... But it's only when I sleep... yeah yeah.... yeah yeeayeaaaaaa riff 2(tab) aaaahh... I'ts only when I sleep...
