I Dreamed A Dream

Ebm         B                 
I dreamed a dream in time gone
Abm        Bb
 by
Ebm           B                   
When hope was high and life worth 
Abm      Bb
living
Ebm            B                
I dreamed that love would never 
Abm       Bb
die
Ebm            B         
I dreamed that God would be 
      Abm      Bb
forgiving


[Instrumental]
Ebm B Abm Bb


[Verse 2]
Ebm        B            Abm     Bb
Then I was young and unafraid
Ebm             B               
And dreams were made and used 
Ab      Bb
and wasted
Ebm         B            Abm     Bb
There was no ransom to be paid
Ebm       B             Ab       Bb
No song unsung, no wine untasted


[Verse 3]
Ebm     B              Ab    Bb
But the tigers come at night
Continues after the ad
Ebm        B              Ab     Bb
With their voices soft as thunder
Abm     Ab              Bb
As they tear your hope apart
Abm               Bb       Ebm
As they turn your dream to shame

[Verse 4]
Ebm         B            Abm    Bb
She slept a summer by my side
Ebm           B                 
She filled my days with endless 
Abm    Bb
wonder
Ebm         B                Abm
She took my childhood in her 
    Bb
stride
Ebm         B                Ebm
But she was gone when autumn came

[Verse 5]
Ebm         B                   
And I still dream she'll come to
Abm   Bb
 me
Ebm          B              Abm 
That we will live the years 
     Bb
together

(Short Pause)

N.C.
But there are dreams that cannot be

And there are storms we cannot 
weather...


[Verse 6]
Ebm     B                  Abm    Bb
I had a dream my life would be
Ebm          B                  
So different from this hell I'm 
Abm   Bb
living
Ebm              B            
So different now from what it 
Abm    Bb
seemed
Abm                           
Now life has killed the dream I 
   Ebm
dreamed
