Go To Sleep Alone By the Flatlanders (sung by Joe
Ely - Jimmie Dale Gilmore does a
version also and in the same key). The Dm could be a D, but I m not sure. Feel free to
tell me what you hear. Enjoy. Thanks!
Well you may dance the night away and laugh among the stars
And you may spill the Milky Way and dance among the bars
And you may wake the rafters and break the heart of stone
But you got to go to sleep alone
Chorus
Youâve got to go to sleep alone
Youâve got to go to sleep alone
And even if youâre lying with (2nd chorus â âtoâ) somebody
Still youâve got to go to sleep alone
Well you may climb the golden stairs when weâre past Jacob âs Ladder
And you may put on golden airs and make the rich get sadder
You may learn the golden rule and sit on a golden throne
But you got to go to sleep alone
Chorus
Well you may wake up in the night and wonder if youâre dreaming
And referee the fights between the being and the seeming
And when the victor holds your hand up to the great unknown
You got to go back to sleep alone
Chorus
Youâve got to go to sleep alone
Youâve got to go to sleep alone
Even if youâre lying with somebody you really love
Still youâve got to go to sleep alone
