Your hair flows down your pillow, you're still sleeping.

ok as a really rough guide but loads of errors - all the G5 chords are actually G/F# Chords , there is a C B A rundown after the D chord etc etc - I have just tabbed it for one of my students but don't have the time to upload it here but the crucial thing in the verse is the bass going from G to F# NOT G then G5!!!!
