1.      I dreamed a dream in time gone by,

F                             C                          Dm      - G

    when hope was high, and life worth living.

C                          Em                       Am  - C

    I dreamed that love would never die,      

F                             C                      Dm       - G

    I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

 

     C                      Em                   Am   - C

2.      Then I was young and unafraid,        

F                                  C                            Dm       - G

    and dreams were made and used and wasted.

C                        Em                  Am   - C

    There was no ransom to be paid,       

F                      C                      Dm         - G

    no song unsung, no wine untasted.

 

   A                                      Dm

+     But the tigers come at night, 

A                                           D

    with their voices soft as thunder,

G                                         Cm

    as they tear your souls apart,  

G                                                    C - Dm - C - F - G

    and they turn your dream to sha..........................me.

 

     D                   F#m                       Bm  - D

3.      And still I dream he'll come to me,        

G                     D                       Em      - A

    that we will live the years together.

D                         F#m                       Bm   - D

    But there are dreams that cannot be,

G                          D                          Em      - A

    and there are storms we cannot weather.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     D - F#m - Bm                 D                           G

+                         I had a dream my life would be

Em                    A                       D

    so different from this hell I'm living,

                                                    Bm  

    So different now from what it seemed,

G                                                - A        D

    now life has killed the dream        I dreamed.

 

+  D - F#m - Bm - D - G - A - D
