When I Watch You Sleeping Chords

(ver. 1)
Neil Young
[Intro]
G Em C G D* C G

[Verse]
G                Em       C                        G   D* C  G
When I watch you sleeping there's nothing that you hide 
G                Em        C                        G     D*  C  G
When I smell you breathing there's a sweetness from inside 
G                   Em       C                       G    D*  C  G
And when I feel you stirring and the day is about to break
G                 Em       C                       G    D*  C 
Outside wings are worrying and the sky is there to take 
C              G                                                Am
I wonder how I got so close to you and see the chances that you take 
C                    G                                          D 
Without thinking I'm going there too these are the promises you make 
C                  G                                 D
When your eyes are blinded by love and the history a fate 

[Interlude]
G Em C G D* C G

[Verse]
G               Em      C                    G  D* C G
When I hear you purring like a kitten and a lion 
G               Em       C                      G     D* C G
And I feel your softness how you got it without trying 
G                 Em     C                              G  D* C G
Then you roll and tumble with your dreams still holding on 
G               Em            C              G    D* C 
And I hear that rumble in the stomach of the dawn 
C               G                              Am 
Today I made my masterpiece tonight I trace my tears 
C                   G                                            D 
Thinking through my path to you and where I stumbled through the years

[Solo]
G Em C G D* C G
G Em C G D* C G

[Chorus]
C               G                              Am 
Today I made my masterpiece tonight I trace my tears  
C                    G 
Thinking through the road I took to you 
                               D 
and how I stumbled through the years 
C                      G 
That's when I knew I'd never hold you down 
G                       D 
Repeating old roads and fears 

[Verse]
G                 Em      C                              G  D* C  G
Now the crows are calling and the blackbirds sing in my ear 
G               Em   C                            G    D* C  G
You got one eye open and I am smiling through my tears
G                Em       C                       G    D* C  G
But you'll never see them they're inside with my fears 
G                 Em                     C       G
In a place that's fading away and taking on new years 

[Outro]
C G G D   C G G D 
G Em C G D* C G
G Em C G
