Here are the chords for the Housemartins songs I know. Any
other contributions would be grateful.
SHEEP
A Bm E D
Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead
A Bm E D
The Shepherds smile seems to confirm my fears
A Bm E D
They’ve never questioned anything, they never disagreed
A Bm E D
Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears
And when you see a cane I see a crock
And when you see a crowd I see a flock
Its sheep we’re up against
Sheep we’re up against
When I was young, they used to get me counting sheep
But the counting I did was all in vain
Now when I’m tired and I’m trying to get to sleep
I count humans jumping onto trains
Bridge riff is:
E—————————————————-
B————————————-3—2————
G———2—2———2—4——————2———
D—2—4———2—4———2—4—2—2———2—4—
A—————————————————-
E—————————————————-
The next part is an arpeggio of the four chords. This song
is just a repeat of those chords over and over. Listen to the
song and you’ll figure out the rhythm. It took me a while to
get it down.
