"It's Easy to Sleep when You're Dead" by Of Montreal Standard Tuning, Capo 1st Fret All chords relative to capo Bm: 200202 Bb: x1333x B: x2444x F: 133211 Db: xx0434 G: xx000x E: 022100 Cm: x3554x A : x02225 Ab: xx111x Eb: xx1343 Dm: xx0231 D : xx0232 C: x3555x G#: 46654x Ebdim:2012xx C7b5: 2323xx The wonderful last song on "The Bedside Drama". As with any Of Montreal song, there are almost as many chords as there are words; I tried to be as detailed with the chords as I could, but I may have missed or misinterpreted a few. Listen along with his voice and try to add or subtract notes according to the melody, and change the chords to suit you. (n/c) means stop playing and sing. I may easily be wrong about the capo, i didnt realize my guitar was a half step sharp when I transcribed this. If anyone comes up with a regular version they should totally put it on the internet. Intro: Bm Db A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G But you're unable to touch your loved ones Ab A Ebdim Bm Db Give them kisses or see them smile at you A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G But you give up your whole life's work Ab A Ebdim Bm Db And never can reverse the bad things that you did [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/o/of-montreal/114599.html ] B E While alive you still have hope D D That when you die it might be better Eb (n/c) Bb Eb When you die you are dead C Bb D Eb And you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better Bm C7b5 I hope it's better A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G Though you can't feel the warmth of summer Ab A Ebdim Bm Db Smell the flowers of spring, or drink cider in the fall A (n/c) D It's easy to sleep when you're dead Ebdim Bb G Though it's too late to say the words Ab A Ebdim Bm Db You wanted them to hear when you didn't have the nerve B E D D You get to spend eternity thinking about your life Eb (n/c) Bb Eb Think of all the time that is C Bb D Eb Cuz eternity is forever, is forever, is forever Bm C7b5 What will I do forever?
