Noel and Gem played it on the John Lennon Tribute together with the Stereophonics

(I think this should be played with a capo on 4… otherwise start with
Bm and it will do fine- top line are the chord forms, bottom line is in
the right key [at least the recording I have])


When I wake up early in the morning/lift my head I’m still yawning

(you get the idea…)
When I’m in the middle of a dream/Stay in bed Float upstream

Please don’t wake me/no don’t shake me/leave me where I am

F#maj7 G#m (little bass thing G#/B/D#/B somewhere)
I’m only sleeping

(bridge part, after verses 2 and 3 I believe…)
C#m7 D#7 G#m
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window, taking my time

2. Everybody seems to think I’m lazy/I don’t mind/I think they’re crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed/’til they find/There’s no need
Please don’t spoil my day/I’m miles away/and after all
I’m only sleeping

3. Lying there and staring at the ceiling/Waiting for/a sleepy feeling

Please don’t spoil my day/I’m miles away/And after all
I’m only sleeping
