Dream Awhile

D             C
When I have a problem
  G                 D
I know just what to do
  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while
G                   D
Something will come through


[Verse 1]

    D              C
The sky is ever darkening
   G              D
My bones begin to shake
    D                    C
The streets of town are emptying
        G           D
There’s no one left awake
D                       C
Concern, concern that’s all there is
    G              D
The tambour of the day
    D               C
But when I close my eyes I find
G                D
There is another way


[Chorus]

D             C
When I have a problem
  G                 D
I know just what to do
  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while
G              D
Something will come through


[Verse 2]

    D              C
The way to roll is blatant
    G                 D
The air to breathe is clear
   D            C
My worry bag is vacant
   G             D
My cookie jar is here
    D          C
My lady has my back she sings
     G             D
That everything’s alright
   D               C
So we lay down and sleep and dream
    G                D
And spoon each other tight


[Chorus]

D             C
When I have a problem
  G                 D
I know just what to do
  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while
G                   D
Something will come through


[Verse 3]

    Am             Em
The sun is beating harder
C                   G
The drum is playing loud
    Am               Em
My father won’t take action 'cause
   C            D
My father he is proud
   Am               Em
My mother moans and locks herself
C                G
Into her private room
   Am                 Em
My brothers cry but I won't lie
    C               D
I'm not bothered by gloom

D C G D (x2)


[Verse 4]

     D                   C
When weighted down with wondering
    G                 D
The who, the why, the how
D                     C
Dreamland is where it all began
    G                D
And where we heading now


[Chorus]

D             C
When I have a problem
  G                 D
I know just what to do
  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while
G                   D
Something will come through

  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while
G                   D
Something will come through
