Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead The Shepherds smile seems to confirm my fears They've never questioned anything, they never disagreed 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.
