This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Sleep by Stabbing Westward

Tabbed by Dave Bloom

This song is my favorite song in the whole world, not

only of this album or this band, but of every song that

I have ever heard, this one is on top.

There isn't much guitar on this song, but I have, all the

stuff tabbed for your pleasure.

The chorus riff...

Don't follow it note by note, that isn't the exact amount

of times to play them, but follow that and you will get it.

The words

She's been here so many times before

She can't remember

When she last felt anything at all

But this fear and anger

She stares intently at the door

Listen's for his footsteps

She knows exactly whats in store

And the knowing makes it worse

Floating high above her bed

Staring at her fathers head

Wishing one of them was dead

Floating high above her bed

Staring at her fathers head

Wishing one of them was dead

So this hell could finally end

When he calls her daddy's little girl

She doesn't her him

When he crushes her

She can't feel

Her sreams are silent

Hides in the corner of her mind

While she plays contently

She leaves this nightmare far behind

She escapes inside her dreams

Floating high above her bed

Staring at her fathers head

Wishing one of them were dead

Floating high above her bed

Staring at her fathers head

Wishing one of them were dead

So this hell could finally end

Floating high above her bed

Staring at her fathers head

Wishing one of them were dead

Floating high above her bed

Staring at her fathers head

Wishing one of them were dead

So this hell could finally end

Floating high above her bed

Staring at her fathers head

Wishing one of them were dead

Floating high above her bed

Staring at her fathers head

Wishing one of them were dead

So this hell could finally end...
