I worked several hours on this, so enjoy ;-)


4     6    6  -5   6    -5   4
You would not be-lieve your eyes,
4   -4  -4   4  -4 -5   6
if ten mil-lion fi-re-flies,
-6  6  -5   4   4  4  6  -5  -4
lit up the world as I fell a-sleep.

4        6     6   -5  6  -5  4
'Cause they'd fill the o-pen air,
-4    -4     4      -4  -5   6    
and leave teardrops e-very-where.
4       4   -6  6  -5
You'd think me rude but 
4   4    -6   6    -4    -5
I would just stand and stare.

slow:
-6    6  -5   7  -6  6   -5   6
I'd like to make my-self be-lieve
4     -5  5   -4     4     5  -4
that pla-net Earth turns slow-ly.
-4    -4  -5 -6    6   -6  6 -5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
-4   4 -4   -5   6   -5 -4   
stay awake when I'm asleep,   -->
4    -4  -5   -5   -6  6 -5   4 -5   6\
cause e-very-thing is ne-ver as it seems.


4     6  6  -5   6  -5   4
Cause I get a thousand hugs 
4     -4  -4   4   -4  -5    6
From ten thousand lightning bugs 
-4  -5  -6  6   -4   -6  6  -5  -4
As they try to teach me how to dance

4   6 6    -5 6 -5  4 
A foxtrot above my head 
-4 -4 -4    4 -4  -5  6 
A sockhop beneath my bed 
4  -6   6  -5   4  4    -6 6  -4  -5
Disco ball is just hanging by a thread

-6    6  -5   7  -6  6   -5   6
I'd like to make my-self be-lieve
4     -5  5   -4     4     5  -4
that pla-net Earth turns slow-ly.
-4    -4  -5 -6    6   -6  6 -5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
-4   4 -4   -5   6   -5 -4   
stay awake when I'm asleep, -->
4    -4  -5   -5   -6  6 -5   4 -5   6
cause e-very-thing is ne-ver as it seems.

4      6   -5 6 -5   6  -5  4
Leave my door open just a crack 
(4        -5  4  4 -5   6    -4)
(please, take me away from here)
4     6  6    -5    6  -5 -4 6 -6-5
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(4       -5   4 4-5    -4   4 )
(Please take me away from here)
4      6   -5 6 -5   6  -5  4
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(4       -5  4  4 -5   6    -4)
(Please take me away from here)
4     6  6   -5  6 -5 -4  6   -6-5
When I'm far to tired to fall asleep

4   6   6  -5   6 -5  4
To ten million fireflies
4   -4    -4  4  -4  -5   6
I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes
  -6  6  -5  4   4   4     6   -5  6\
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)


4   6   6   -5    6  -5   4
But I know where several are
4  -4   -4    4   -4  -5   6  
If my dreams get real bizarre
4    -4  -4   6  -5  4  -4 -4   6  -5 -4 -5
Cause I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar

2x |:
-6    6  -5   7  -6  6   -5   6
I'd like to make my-self be-lieve
4     -5  5   -4     4     5  -4
that pla-net Earth turns slow-ly.
-4    -4  -5 -6    6   -6  6 -5
It's hard to say that I'd rather
-4   4 -4   -5   6   -5 -4   
stay awake when I'm asleep, -->
4    -4  -5   -5   -6  6 -5   4 -5   6
cause e-very-thing is ne-ver as it seems.

It's hard to say that I'd rather 
4   -4 -4   -5 -5  6 -6
stay awake when I'm asleep, 
6   -5  -5  -5     -6   6 -5    4 -5   6
Because my dreams are bursting at the seam

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
