BEEN C WN - Blue October
E|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
This is how I play the song on acoustic guitar. It can be a challenge in the G F G
Am part - the G's are played really quickly (it follows the violin on the song.)
You can leave them out for simple strumming. Anything in parenthesis can be left
out for the sake of simplicity.
Gsus4: (320013) or (32001X)

I dreamt you seduced me just to walk away

I dreamt you spread your bottom wings and pulled me to the bed
CFmaj7
But then I woke up feeling nauseous, you danced around my head

I dreamt you burned my fingers yes an automatic sting

But then I woke up feeling nauseous, girl you danced around my face
