Bob Dylan’s dream    (intro)

              G                Am

1. While riding on a train going west,

      Am      C             D

    I fell asleep for to take my rest.

    G                                       C            G

    I dreamed a dream that made me sad,

                             D                 C            G

    concerning myself and the first few friends I had.

     G                                       Am

2.       With half damp eyes I stared to the room,

                      Am            C                         D

    where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,

         G                                           C          G

    where we together weathered many a storm,

                           D                               C                 G

    laughing and singing 'till the early hours of the morn.

                G                                           Am

3. By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung,

           Am              C                  D

    our words were told and our songs were sung,

     G                                         C            G

    we longed for nothing and were satisfied,

                       D            C           G

    joking and talking about the world outside.

               G                                       Am

4. With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,

          Am                 C                        D 

    we never much thought we could get very old.

     G                                       C           G

    We thought we could sit forever in fun,

                                  D                         C           G    

    and our chances really were as  a million to one.

5. As easy it was to tell black from white,

              Am        C                  D

    it was all that easy to tell wrong from right,

                     G                                     C                 G

    and our choices were few so the thought never hit,

                                        D                               C             G

    that the one road we traveled would ever shatter or split.

            G                       Am

6. Ah, many a year has passed and gone,

            Am        C                          D

    and many a gamble has been lost and won,

             G                                 C                 G

    and many a road taken by many a first friend,

                      D           C       G                - G - D - C - G

    and each one I've never seen again.

        G                         Am

7. I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,

           Am                C                    D

    that we could sit simply in that room again,

     G                                           C          G

    ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,

                          D                C                           G      - D - C - G

    I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.
