1.      Dream on little Broomstick Cowboy        of rocket ships and Mars,

          D                      Em              - A                                      D

    of sunny days and Willie Mays         and chocolate candy bars.

 

         D                   Em                          - A                              D

2. Dream on little Broomstick Cowboy,       dream while you can

         D                             Em               - A                                 D

    of big green frogs and puppy dogs          and castles in the sand.

 

            D                           G                A                      D

    For all too soon you'll waken, your toys will all be gone,

                D                             G              - A                            D

    your broomstick horse will ride away         to find another home.

 

             D                          Em            - A                                      D

3. And you'll have grown into a man         with cowboys of your own,

              D                        Em            - A                                   D

    and then you'll have to go to war        to try and save your home.

 

              D                          G                  - A                                      D

    And then you'll have to learn to hate,        you'll have to learn to kill,

          D                           G                - A                              D

    it's always been that way my son,       I guess it always will.

              D                              G                  A                       D

    No broomstick gun they'll hand you, no longer you'll pretend,

               D                             G          - A                                      D

    you'll call some man your enemy,          you used to call him friend.

                D                        G                    A                           D

    And when the rockets thunder, you'll hear your brothers cry,

                D                        G                 A                       D

    and through it all you'll wonder just why they had to die.

 

              D                    Em                         - A                               D

4. So dream on little Broomstick Cowboy,        dream while you can,

            D                      Em                        A           - - - - - - -    D

    for soon you'll be a dreadful thing, my son - - - you'll be a man.
