It's A Dream chords
 C   F2x
In the Cmorning when I wake up and Flisten to the sound
Of the Cbirds outside on the Froof
I Ctry to ignore what the Fpaper says
And I Ctry not to read all the Fnews
And I'll Chold you if you had a Fbad dream
And I Chope it never comes Ftrue
'Cause Cyou and I been through so many Fthings together
And the Csun starts climbing the Froof
It's a Cdream
Only a Gdream
And it's Ffading nowG  
Fading aCway
It's only a Gdream
Just a Fmemory without anyGwhere to Cstay
 C   F2x
The CRed River stills flows through my Fhome town
CRollin' and tumblin' on its Fway
CSwirling around the old bridge Fpylons
Where a Cboy fishes the morning aFway
His Cbicycle leans on an Foak tree
While the Ccars rumble over his Fhead
An Cairplane leaves a trail in an Fempty blue sky
And the Cyoung birds call out to be Ffed
It's a Cdream
Only a Gdream
And it's Ffading nowG  
Fading aCway
Only a Gdream
Just a Fmemory without anyGwhere to Cstay
 C   F4x
An Cold man walks along on the Fsidewalk
CSunglasses and an old Stetson Fhat
The Cfour winds blow the back of his Fovercoat away
As he Cstops with the policeman to Fchat
And a Ctrain rolls out of the Fstation
That was Creally somethin' in its Fday
CPicking up speed on the straight Fprairie rails
As it Ccarries the passengers aFway
It's Cgone
It's only a Gdream
And it's Ffading nowG  
Fading aCway
Only a Gdream
Just a Fmemory withGout anywhere to Cstay

It's a Cdream
Only a Gdream
And it's Ffading nowG  
Fading aCway
It's only a Gdream
Just a Fmemory without anyGwhere to Cstay

It's A Dream chords

C F

In the morning when I wake up and listen to the sound

C F

Of the birds outside on the roof

C F

I try to ignore what the paper says

C F

And I try not to read all the news

C F

And I'll hold you if you had a bad dream

C F

And I hope it never comes true

C F

'Cause you and I been through so many things together

C F

And the sun starts climbing the roof

It's a dream

Only a dream

F G

And it's fading now

Fading away

It's only a dream

F G C

Just a memory without anywhere to stay

C F

The Red River stills flows through my home town

C F

Rollin' and tumblin' on its way

C F

Swirling around the old bridge pylons

C F

Where a boy fishes the morning away

C F

His bicycle leans on an oak tree

C F

While the cars rumble over his head

C F

An airplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky

C F

And the young birds call out to be fed

It's a dream

Only a dream

F G

And it's fading now

Fading away

Only a dream

F G C

Just a memory without anywhere to stay

C F

An old man walks along on the sidewalk

C F

Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat

C F

The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away

C F

As he stops with the policeman to chat

C F

And a train rolls out of the station

C F

That was really somethin' in its day

C F

Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails

C F

As it carries the passengers away

It's gone

It's only a dream

F G

And it's fading now

Fading away

Only a dream

F G C

Just a memory without anywhere to stay

C F

It's a dream

Only a dream

F G

And it's fading now

Fading away

It's only a dream

F G C

Just a memory without anywhere to stay

C F

It's a dream

It's only a dream

F G

And it's fading now

Fading away . . .
