Just before I left Scotland to come here, I live here now by the way, I [C#] was very honoured
to be asked to [Em] produce an [A] album for Ed Piper called Gordon Dettel, a novel composer of
tunes and [D] a wonderful guy.
[E] It turned out to be his new [G#] studio album [D]
and I asked him to put this tune [C#] on it, [N]
one of
his and he wouldn't but he recorded it for me.
[B]
It was written in Brittany in North West France.
[E] There's a contest at the Lorient [Em] Interglottic Festival, a piping, fellow Highland piping
contest sponsored by Macallan with [E] a recipe for disaster.
[G#] Gordon was the first person ever [A] to win a second Macallan trophy and he celebrated by
drinking the [Em] prize of course [A] and spending the prize money on more of the same.
[D] And he woke up the [N] following morning with his head on a table in a pub in Brittany,
in Lorient and he had two things in his head.
One was an absolutely industrial high-lover and the other was this tune and he didn't
recognise the tune and he played it to all his friends and they didn't recognise it
either so he assumed he'd composed it.
Correctly, as it turned out.
No one else has claimed it.
He just woke up with this beautiful tune that was composed by someone unconscious and whammed
out of their mind.

[D]
Of course it's called The [Em] Sleeping Tunes.
