By request, You Can Sleep While I Drive...third in a series.

BTW, does anyone have the tab for Love & Rockets' Saudade, from the
album Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven?  I didn't notice a L&R
directory at nevada, although I could have overlooked it..
Please post or mail it if you do, anyway...this song is a longtime
favourite...

Come on baby, let's get out of this town

                                 
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down

                                                   
There's a chill in my bones, I don't want to be left alone

                                     
so baby you can sleep while I drive

                                     
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar

                              
In my pocket I'll carry my harp

                                           
I got some money I've saved enough to get underway

                                  
and baby you can sleep while I drive

                                     
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe

                                  
and Barb'ra in Nashville says we're welcome to stay

                                            
I'll buy you glasses in Texas, a hat from New Orleans

                                             
and in the morning you can tell me your dreams

                                                      
You know I've seen it before, this mist that covers your eyes

                                                  
You've been looking for something that's not in your life

                                            
My intentions are true, won't you take me with you?

                                 
and baby you can sleep while I drive

          |           |
          |           |

          
Oh            is it other arms you want to

                          
hold      you the stranger the lover you're free

                      
Can't you get that from me?

                                 
Come on baby let's get out of this town

                                   
I've got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down

                                                   
If you won't take me with you, I'll go before night is through

                                 
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Back on  "oh...is it other arms you want to....", that first G
might be a G7.  I think the G sounds better, but be your own judges...

Any requests for my next endeavor?
