Verse 1:
C G
I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms
CBut dreams are always wrong
GI never dreamed I'd hurt you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
CIn my dreams I'm always strong
F C
But now the creek is rising
F CAnd all my bridges burned
(C) G
I always dreamed of big crowds
Plumes of smoke and high clouds
CBut dreams don't last for long
Repeat intro chords twice
Verse 2 (same chords as first verse)
I have my suspicions
When the stars are in position
All will be revealed
But I know that until then
Unless the stars surrender
All will be concealed
And now the snow is falling
And all my fences torn
I know you need someone
And I can hear someone
Somewhere in this song
Repeat intro chords twice
Verse 3 (same chords as first verse except where noted)
I dreamed that I was walking
And the two of us were talking
Of all life's mystery
The words that flow between friends
Winding streams without end
I wanted you to see
F C
But it can seem surprising
F CWhen you find yourself alone
And now the dark is rising
F CAnd a brand new moon is born
I always dreamed I'd love you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
In my dreams I'm always strong.
Finish on C
The intro bit sounds best (to me) if you play the following chords;
C at the eighth fret (E shape)
Gm at the tenth fret (Am shape)
Bb at the sixth fret (E shape)
F at the eighth fret (A shape)
For the rest of the song use these chord shapes:
C - X32010
