[G] [D/F#] [Em] [G/D]
I had a dream; I had an awesome dream

People in the park, playing games in the dark

As we go down life's lonesome highway

That helping hand someone who understands

*The third line of the bridge is very difficult.
Going from an A/C# to a Dm as quickly as the
song suggests requires a skilled guitarist.
That is the only reason this song is considered
intermediate. Other than that line, the song can
be considered novice. To keep it novice, change
the A/C# to A: x7765x and play the Dm: x5776x.
