Slept Through Sunday

We’ve had bright nights
And dark light mornings
Restless urges
Lie down and we’re set free

Slept through Sunday
I saw God last Saturday night
And don’t ask me about these bruises I’ve got
This halo sure does shine

Scratches and spit
Bruises, bellyaches
First page burnin’ down
But the book has not been read

I slept through Sunday
I saw Jesus last Saturday night
And don’t ask me about these bruises I’ve got
St. Peter, I’m still in line

And I hope, yes I pray
Almost every day
But there’s somethin’ in the way
In the way

Cause I slept through Sunday
I saw Jesus last Saturday night
And don’t ask me about these bruises I’ve got
This halo sure does shine

Slept through Sunday
I saw God last Saturday night
And don’t ask me about these bruises I’ve got
St. Peter I’m still in line x3

  1. sea monkey Says:

    I think I’m close on the chords for the song

    the two main chords for the intro and all the verses are:
    Gsus Gsus G G

    We’ve had bright nights…
    Gsus Gsus G G

    chorus:
    Slept through Sunday
    G C F G G
    I saw God last Saturday night
    G C G
    And don’t ask me about these bruises I’ve got
    G C F G G
    This halo sure does shine
    G C G

    Gsus Gsus
    G G
    a few more times then same thing for the rest of the verses and choruses

    bridge:
    And I hope, yes I pray
    em D
    Almost every day
    G C
    But there’s somethin’ in the way
    em D
    In the way

    then trevor’s arpeggios go like
    em (individual notes are b-g-e-g x 4)
    C (c-g-e-g x4)
    em (b-g-e-g x 4)
    D (a-f#-d-f# x4)
    em (b-g-e-g x4)
    then these four chords (josh plays the individual notes c-d-c-d->e):
    C D C D (immediately into the jam)
    em em em em
    D D D D
    C C C C
    C D C D

    the jam is in e minor, Josh’s lead is pretty much completely worked out, not much improv for this song

    on the last C D C D of the jam it goes right back into Gsus Gsus-> G G then does the chorus again
    The saint peter line is just:

    Saint Peter I’m still in line
    G C G x 3

  2. adventuresinperception Says:

    i think that the chorus sounds better

    E G C G
    E G C C

  3. sea monkey Says:

    adventures, you’re definitely closer. I think it might be

    em G C G
    em G C
    em G C G
    em G C
