Asleep Under Last Week's News
By Jeremy Enigk

This song has never appeared on any of Jeremy's solo albums, unless it's on a single
I'm not aware of.  I saw him play it last year at Lollapalooza '06, and found the video of
angle is perfect to see what chords he's playing.
Standard tuning

Intro:

G#m  E

He does a little hammer-on/slide thing in between the F#m and E chords.  Just hammer on
sixth string sixth fret, and then slide up to the seventh fret.  Watch the video to get
