Rory Gallagher
SLEEP ON A CLOTHES LINE As recorded by Rory Gallagher (From the 1973 Album TATTOO) * means one strum only [Intro] N.. [Verse 1] I could sleep on a clothes line As easy as pie I can’t keep my eyes open No matter how I try I gotta sit down I can’t stay on my feet D5* N.C. I been up all night I been walkin’ the street oh yeah [Chorus] Looking for my baby But everywhere I’ve gone Tell me I just missed her It’s gone on too long [Verse 2] Well I’d go up on a mountain And I’d fight a wild cat Walk over Niagara And all the way back Get lost in the jungle And I’d live up a tree D5* N.C. That’s what I would want to do If you would stay with me oh yeah [Chorus] Looking for you baby Gone from pillar to post Wverywhere I’d just missed you baby By a minute at the most [Bridge] Well I’m looking for you baby In every cafe diner and bar All the faces there they know you and they say you Can’t have gone too far but you’ve gone Far enough baby If I found out you’ve done me wrong Don’t ask to know who’s the fool I won’t be the one Owwwww.......not a loser... [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I would sleep on the tail-plane Of a Jumbo Jet Walk over the Ocean And I’d never once get wet Go skating on an iceberg And that’s what I would once do D5* N.C. Lay it down a dozen times Just to hear you say "I Love You" [Chorus] Looking for you baby But everwhere I go Tell me I just missed you baby By a minute at the most [Verse 4] Well I could Sleep on a clothes line As easy as pie I can’t keep my eyes open No matter how I try I gotta sit down I can’t stay on my feet D5* N.C. I been up all night I been walkin’ the street yeah [Chorus] Looking for you baby Everwhere I go Tell me I just missed you baby You know it’s gone on too long yeah.. [Outro] Gone too long baby x5
