• Song:

    Sleeping Lessons

  • Artist:

    Shins

  • Album:

    Wincing the Night Away

This tab is based off the sleeping lessons v. 2 tab. I just changed it slight because
this song is easier to play if you know your scales.

Key is E major

Intro, and repeated for a bit of first verse.
E------------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------|
A-----------4--6-4------------------4--6-4-------------|
E--0---4-7-----------7--4--0---4--7----------4---------|

Then go up a string: (you don't need to play both 0 and 5 together, choose 
whatever on feels better
5 is nice because when you go up two frets it is the same pattern)
------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------|
-----------4--6-4------------------4--6-4-------------|
--0---4-7-----------7--4--0---4--7----------4---------|
--5-----------------------5---------------------------|

then the chorus:
----------------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------------|x4
----------6--9-6------------------------------------|
-----6-9----------9--6------------------------------|
--7-------------------------------------------------|


------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------|x4
 -----------4--6-4------------------------------------|
--0---4-7-----------7--4------------------------------|
--5---------------------------------------------------|

Then back to  verse.

When the guitar comes in at the end, then the chords are just simple powerchords
----------------------------------------------------------|

---9------------------------------------------------------|
---9-------------7----------5-----------------------------|
---7-------------7----------5-----------------------------|
-----------------5----------7-----------------------------|
   E5           A5          B5
