I dreamed a dream (2019, from “Les Misérables”)     (video)

G - Bm - Em - G - C - D - G

G Bm Em  - G

1.      I dreamed a dream in time gone by,

C G Am      - D

when hope was high, and life worth living.

G Bm Em  - G

    I dreamed that love would never die,      

C G Am       - D

    I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

G Bm Em   - G

2.      Then I was young and unafraid,        

C G Am       - D

and dreams were made and used and wasted.

G Bm Em  - G

    There was no ransom to be paid,       

C G Am         - D

no song unsung, no wine untasted.

E Am

+     But the tigers come at night, 

E A

with their voices soft as thunder,

D Gm

as they tear your souls apart,  

D G - Am - G - C - D

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

A C#m F#m  - A

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

D A Bm      - E

that we would live the years together.

A C#m F#m   - A

    But there are dreams that cannot be,

D A Bm      - E

and there are storms we cannot weather.

A - C#m - F#m A D

+                          I had a dream my life would be

A - Bm E A

so different from this hell I'm living,

C#m F#m - A

    So different now from what it seemed,

D E A

now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

+ A - C#m - F#m - A - D - E - A
