Dave Cousins - I'll Show You Where To Sleep
[Intro]
D G D D7 G D Gm D G A7 G Em D
[Verse 1]
D7
Paint a picture of the world
G D
In gentle pastel shades
D7
Indistinct and somehow blurred
G D
Like childhood escapades
Gm D
The painting box is rather dear
G A7
But the paints themselves are cheap
G
Leave your pack at the side of the road
D G D
I'll show you where to sleep
[Verse 2]
D7
Dead brown weeds in a ditch at the side
G D
Of a field of burning corn
D7
The road opens out before you
G D
Like the womb where you were born
Gm D
There's no need to pretend again
G A7
To try and earn your keep
G
Leave your pack at the side of the road
D G D
I'll show you where to sleep
[Bridge]
D#m G
And crowds will gather in the sun
A7 D
Where stone madonnas weep
F# G
But the shepherd is a good man
A7
As he tends his flock of sheep
[Instrumental]
D G D D7 G D Gm D G A7 G Em D
[Verse 3]
D
In case you find your tortoise shell
G D
Is getting rather tight
D7
You can wrap yourself in your magic cloak
G D
And disappear from sight
Gm D
And I will stand guard over you
G A7
As through the door you creep
G
Leave your pack at the side of the road
D
I'll show you where to sleep
