     |---------------|---------------| (repeat x 2)

B                                 F#
Who's that knocking at the bottom of my door?
A               E
Who's that lyin on the floor?
       G             B                        F#
Like a fallen meteor -- it's the sleepin man.
B                      F#
Tomorrow just slipped away,
A                       E
Whatever happened to yesterday?
G                 B               F#
You play, you pay -- sleepin man.



D                        A
Sandman please leave him alone
C                     G
Let him out of the twilight zone
         Bb                            D
Just for once let him answer the phone
        A
Sleepin man.

(Repeat)

Second time passing chord: F#  

then: INTRO


B              F#
Mouth is open, eyes shut tight.
A                E
Night is day and day is night
G                       B          F#
He's not a pretty sight -- sleepin man,
     B                  F#    
Face down on the table, drink in his hand
A                            E
He doesn't hear the noise of the band,
       G                            B             F#
With a head full of ideas, and eyes full of sand,

Lies the sleepin man



D                        A
Sandman please leave him alone
C                     G
Let him out of the twilight zone
         Bb                            D
Just for once let him answer the phone
        A
Sleepin man.

(Repeat)
