I love this song from Sleep because it is so melodic and groovy. It was a harder song for me to learn though because the bass has a very integral part throughout the whole song.
If you have ever listened to other Sleep songs and doom metal for that matter, you know that the sound is dark, moody and muddy. Which sounds amazing but can be tough to learn if you are trying to learn by ear.
I have practiced many times trying to get this song down so I hope you enjoy!

Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye
Flap the wings under Mars’ red sky
The reptile pushes itself out into space
Leaving behind the human race
Swim inside the solar seas
The Nebula cries out to me
Passing where I’ve gone before
I fly on through the crimson door
Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye
Flap the wings under Mars red sky
