Verse 1

[Cmaj] [F9] [B7b5]

I dreamed of a life that was pure and true.

[Cmaj7] [F9] [B7b5]

I dreamed of a job only I could do.

[Cmaj] [F9] [E7/B] [B7]

One gal beside me, we'd be a team,

[A7b5] [Ab7b5] [G7b5]

Man, that was a dream.

Verse 2

[Cmaj7] [F9] [B7b5]

I knew it was music I had to play,

[Cmaj7] [F9] [B7b5]

I dreamed when I played, I would play MY way.

[Cmaj] [F9] [E7/B] [B7]

Too fascinatin' children Boo-Boo and Toot,

[A7b5] [Ab7b5] [G7b5]

Dreams, that was a beaut.

Chorus

[C7]

All through life, I'd be true,

[C7]

Fortune would come my way.

[C7]

Strugglin' n gettin ' by,

[C7]

Tryin' to never lie,

[C7]

Mean exactly what I say

Verse 3

[Cmaj] [F9] [B7b5]

I dreamed I had fame and a life sublime,

[Cmaj] [F9] [B7b5]

I dreamed I made prints of the sands of time.

[Cmaj] [F9] [E7/B] [B7]

Smack dab in the spotlight, bathed in it's beam,

[A7b5] [Ab7b5] [G7b5]

Man, that was a dream.

[Solos]
