Sleepyhead Cifras

Sarah Blackwood also does a version of this song without the outro
Lightfoot's version does a modified D chord on the fifth fret -x-5-4-0-3-0
which makes the flow of the song really beautiful with that C shape chord bopping around the fret board
She also accents the harmonic notes in the chords with pull-offs/hammer-ons
usually with the middle finger on the 2nd and 3rd string or the second played string in a given chord
once you get a feel for the song you can incorporate where you like!
 
This is just a very rough guide to give you the basics. Enjoy!
 
 
 
[Intro]
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
My sweet sweet heart
        C
Get yourself out of bed
    D                         C   G
And get downstairs you little sleepyhead
G
Brush your teeth
          C
And don’t forget that hair
D                                 C      G
Nobody’s gonna see you think that I don’t care
 
 
[Chorus]
        D     C   G
I can’t do it all alone
       Am                   G
Oh but somebody’s gotta stay home
            D         C    G
And I would do it all over again
          Am                     C G
For you my precious little sleepyhead
 
 
[Verse 2]
         G              C
Fingers small and your heart so wide
      D                   C          G
If I ever lost track of you I think I’d die
     G                    C             G
You learned to walk before you learned to crawl
         D                                C       G
And now I catch you drawing pictures on the kitchen wall
 
 
[Chorus]
        D     C   G
I can’t do it all alone
       Am                   G
Oh but somebody’s gotta stay home
            D         C    G
And I would do it all over again
          Am                     C G
For you my precious little sleepyhead
 
 
[Verse]
    G
Now you’re in the backseat crying
              C
You’ve never been more tired
      D                           C         G
If it puts you to sleep I’d drive a thousand miles
     G                C      G
And I don’t have any lesson plan
    D                                  C      G
But if the point is to love you then I know I can
 
 
[Chorus]
        D     C   G
I can’t do it all alone
       Am                   G
Oh but somebody’s gotta stay home
            D         C    G
And I would do it all over again
          Am                     C G
For you my precious little sleepyhead
 
 
[Chorus]
        D     C   G
I can’t do it all alone
       Am                   G
Oh but somebody’s gotta stay home
            D         C    G
And I would do it all over again
          Am                     C G
For you my precious little sleepyhead
 
 
[Outro]
Am7                      Am              C       G
Cause youll always be my precious little sleepyhead
