THE SMITHS - ASLEEP

Morrissey / Marr

This is a version of Asleep that Ive arranged for guitar picking. Ive not bothered to transcribe the
whole song, as every section is represented in the first minute or so.

Its a fairly accurate version which includes the pianos main bass notes and melody converted to guitar.
Of course, its never going to sound as full as the original piano version, but it still captures the mood of
the song and it sounds really nice on an acoustic.
If you want to hear my guitar version before you learn it, Ive put a video on YouTube (albeit, with a
slightly improvised arrangement). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdT7KH_Qv-0
