Intro:

F, Am

Verse:
F
There was a time and place
not far from here and now
Am
maybe a brighter day
maybe they had it made somehow
F
living for there and then
under a psychadelic spell
Am
no one was listening
still they had so much to tell

Chorus:
C           G            Dm
whatever happened to the dreamers
C           G            Dm
they always look beyond the sky
C           G            Dm
saw a world they could believe in
C           G            Dm
but only when they close their eyes

F, Am as first verse:

there were the politcians
men of the cloth, painters and poets
starting a revolution
without even knowing it
making the world around us
making heaven and hell
saying so much about us
still they had so much to tell

whatever happened to the dreamers
they always looked beyond the sky
saw a world they could believe in
but only when they close their eyes

(Can't quite get this bit!)
 G
where are they now
C               Am
they've all left town
Dsus2?
bringing the clouds

chorus
whatever happened to the dreamers
they always look beyond the sky
saw a world they could believe in
but only when they close their eyes
but only when they close their eyes

Why are we on our own, why are we on our own
C         G              Dm
nothings ever been this way before
a dream is just a dream and nothing more
nothings ever been this way before
a dream is just a dream and nothing more
