I Dreamed a Dream

[Intro]

                                    D
There was a time when men were kind

When their voices were soft
G/B
    And their words inviting

D7
   There was a time when love was blind
Bm
   And the world was a song
C
  And the song was exciting
D
  There was a time

Then it all went wrong

( D  A  Bm  D/F#  G  A )

[Primeira Parte]

D                A                Bm  A
  I dreamed a dream in time gone by
G                D/F#
  When hope was high
                Em    A7
And life worth living

D                 A
  I dreamed that love
             Bm  A
Would never die
G                 D/F#
  I dreamed that God
               Em  A7
Would be forgiving

D             A             Bm  A
  Then I was young and unafraid
G                  D/F#         Em
  And dreams were made and used
        A7
And wasted

D               D/C#         Bm  A
  There was no ransom to be paid
G            D/F#
  No song unsung
           Em    A7
No wine untasted

[Segunda Parte]

B          D#m            Em
  But the tigers come at night
B                             E
  With their voices soft as thunder
A           C#m            Dm
  As they tear your hope apart
A       A7                      D
  And they turn your dream to shame

( D4  D  D4  A )

[Terceira Parte]

D             A            Bm  A
  He slept a summer by my side
G               D/F#
  He filled my days
              Em    A7
With endless wonder
D              A
  He took my childhood
          Bm  A
In his stride
G             A7
  But he was gone when autumn came

( D  A  Am  B )

[Quarta Parte]

E                B
  And still I dream
               C#m  B
He'll come to me
A               G#m
  That we will live
             F#m   B7
The years together
E                  B
  But there are dreams
             C#m  B
That cannot be
A                 G#m
  And there are storms
            F#m
We cannot weather

( B7  E  B )

[Final]

C#m            B                 A  G#m
    I had a dream my life would be
F#m                B7                E
    So different from this hell I'm living
              B                C#m   B
So different now from what it seemed
A               B
  Now life has killed the dream
    E
I dreamed

( B  C#m  B  A  B  E )
