E              A      B
See them over there
                 E           A               B
See them moving down the road
        E                 A      B
Their arms held out ahead
              E                 A              B
And their eyes, their eyes are closed

E                A      B
Don't make any noise,
           E           A                   B
Cry out loud or stamp your feet
       E               A             B
You'll wake the girls and boys
             E             A            B
Who are walking in their sleep

E             A              B                             E
       Every night they throw aside their blankets
A                       B               G#m                            A                F#m
      Swing their feet down, stand up and move out to the street
                 G#m                A
Like they're under a spell
      B                   G#m        A               F#m
And together they roam around the country
G#m        A             B           |: E   A   B:|
 And they're walking in their sleep

       E        A                B               E
You'll recognize them when you see
       A             B              E                 A
Their rumpled hair and stockinged feet
B                  E                A                E
It seems like they want something but

       E                  A          B          -
They don't know what it is
    E              A            B           -
But here they come again
      E               A          B        -        -         - 
Yes, here they come again

E               A            B                        E
      Move aside and let the people go by
A                   B            G#m                          A                      F#m
     They don't see you thinking that they're home in their beds
               G#m         A
They must not be disturbed
              B                G#m    A            F#m
As they're wandering all across the country
G#m       A              B            |:  E   A   B  :|
And they're walking in their sleep

   E                   A         B
Perhaps when they awake
            E              A       B
They'll remember everything
       E           A          B
They'll think it was a dream
      E        A           B
It will be forgotten then

     E                A        B
But don't make any noise 
           E           A                  B
Cry out loud or stamp your feet
         E             A             B
You'll wake the girls and boys
              E           A          B
Who are walking in their sleep
