O Sleep — Lisa Hannigan
Chords and lyrics for O Sleep by Lisa Hannigan (key of C).
Verse 1
This song is finger-picked but can't really be heard clearly after the
first verse so I
didn't try to tab it out exactly.
Intro
[C] [C] [Baug] [C] [C] [C]
O [C]Sleep, come for [E7]me I will [Ab]go [C]quietly
where the [Fm6]roof doesn’t [C]leak in my [E7]heart
O [C]Sleep, come for [E7]me I’m a [Ab]boat, sprung a [C]leak
I’ll [Fm6]hide and you’ll [C]seek a new [Gaddb9]start
[F]for me. Until [C]dawn I’ll [Ab]be too [C]gone
[C]to care how [A]grey the [Gaddb9]day is[G]
The [Am]dreams that it [C/E]chases [F]away
they stay [C][E7]asleep.[C]
[Baug] [C] [Baug] [C]
O [C]Sleep, come for [E7]me I will [Ab]come [C]willingly
like a [Fm6]leaf from a [C]tree in [E7]October
O [C]Sleep, come for [E7]me I [Ab]wait [C]hopefully
I was [Fm6]drunk on a [C]dream now I’m [Gaddb9]sober
From [F]now until [C]dawn it [Ab]can’t be too [C]long
for [C]me, I [A]count the [Gaddb9]hours[G]
‘til I [Am]sleep with your [C/E]feet by my [F]feet[C]
[Am] [Am7] [F] [F]
[Am] [C] [D] [D]
[Am] [Am7] [F] [F]
[Am] [C] [D] [D]
From [F]now until [C]dawn it [Ab]can’t be too [C]long
for [C]me, I [A]count the [Gaddb9]hours[G]
‘til I [Am]sleep with your [C/E]feet by my [F]feet[C]
your [C]breath on my cheek, [E7] [C]asleep
[C] [Baug] [C] [Baug] [C]
