I Don't Sleep by Amen (from the album 'Amen')
tabbed by John Halfpenny ([email protected])


I've left the bassline in so you can sort of judge where you are in the song. The guitars do a bit of feedback at the start of the verses while the bassline is played (you'll need to tune your bass to drop D as well). I haven't done each verse individually 'cos there'd be too much repetition, so i've tabbed a verse example, a chorus, and the bridge. You should be able to figure it out from that little lot- it's a simple enough piece.

Playing tips-- detune a little, and get angry.

Lyrics:

And I have seen what your children see
All these nuns are pregnant dance in kerosene
Stand defiled and dewombed
Unreconciled flooded girls at the back of my window

I don't sleep 

Father sees what baby breeds
Through the windshot windows that torture freely
I can't see what the day light breeds
All the fattening mothers and their tortured sexing

I don't sleep
Tired
Tied up
Tired
Tied up 

Don't eat don't sleep don't dream in America
Don't work don't walk don't wake in America
