Did You Sleep Well

Crooked Still


Tom: Bm

Bm
"Good mornin', my darlin'," I said from the door
G                   A                       Bm
"My bags are all packed, you won't see me anymore."
Bm
The room it was empty except for your clothes
G                      A                 Bm
And a picture of the forest through the dimly lit smoke
D
Did you sleep well?
D
Did you sleep fine?
D                       A
Did you sleep much at all?
Bm
All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall
B                     G              D              A
The first one was lonesome and the second one was clear
Bm
The first one was familiar as the second drew near
Bm                  D          A         Bm
She walked to the window to expose the light
G                    D               A          Bm
Her breath hung in silence like the fog in the night
Bm                   D         A          Bm
The sun raised its head from behind the frost
G                    A                         Bm
She sat down by the stove with her long legs crossed
D
Did you sleep well?
G
Did you sleep fine?
D                       A
Did you sleep much at all?
B                       D         A                Bm
All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall
D                   G               D           A
The first one was ancient but the second was a gun
Bm                   D                  A          Bm
The first one was laughin' before the second was done
Bm               D              A       Bm
She drew up her eyes and then turned my way
G                 D               A              Bm
Her mouth it was movin' but the words tried to stay
Bm               D             A               Bm
Her posture was thin and her tears they were tall
          G               D            A            Bm
Like the picture of the forest in the fire in the hall
D
Did you sleep well?
G
Did you sleep fine?
D                       A
Did you sleep much at all?
Bm                      D          A              Bm
All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall
D                  G               D                 A
The first it was singing and the second dressed in red
Bm                   D              A            Bm
The first one was hungry and the second was well fed

[Verse]
Bm                  D           A          Bm
My struggles were hard and my journey was long
G                   A            Bm
My food was your beauty and my water your song
     D                 A                   Bm
I returned for your voice and your precious melody
G             A                 Bm
I heard them both but you sang not for me
D
Did you sleep well?
G
Did you sleep fine?
D                      A
Did you sleep much at all?
Bm                      D           Bm
All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall
D                 G              D            A
The first was a flower and the second was a train
Bm                 D                A                Bm
The first issued warning and the second brought the rain

[Verse]
Bm                     A               Bm
Day is breaking, it's time for me to leave
G                 D        A            Bm
Each breath I'm taking reminds me to grieve
Bm              D          A             Bm
You've proven false but another will be true
          G            A                       Bm
Walking tall in the darkness the whole night through
G
Will you sleep well?
G
Will you sleep fine?
G
Will you sleep much at all?
Em                                                      F#m
All night you'll hear two voices from out there in the hall
G
The first will be a mirror and the second one a dove
Em                                 Bm
The first will be an echo and the second silent love
D
Will you sleep well?
G
Will you sleep fine?
D                      A
Will you sleep much at all?
Bm                         D           A                Bm
All night you'll hear two voices from out there in the hall
D                     G              D           A
The first will be a mirror and the second one a dove
Bm                    D             A            Bm
The first will be an echo and the second silent love
