I went Gdown to G/F#see the G/EmorningG/D, when the Ccurtains C/Ball were drAmawn
And the Dsidewalk D/Ccafés D/Bempty, D/Aand the Glaughing Cvoices gGoneC  
From some upstairs Gwindow, in the cold and Cgrey of Ddawn
Came the Cfa-dDed Gsound of someCbody who Gplayed Dmy GsongGsus/C  
CHORUS:
GI had a Ddream and I Cgave it a Gname
The Cname that I Dgave it was Gyour Dname
GI had a Ddream and I Cgave it a Gname
The Cname that I Dgave it was Gyou-Dour GnameGsus/C  
I was Gfighting G/F#phantom G/EwindmillG/Ds, made of Cnothing C/Bleft to Amdo
But Dlive D/Camong the D/BshadowD/As, of the Gdays I Cmade it thGrough
Full of Clies and false pretenGces, that tomorrow Cwould be nDew
And it wCas, beDcause, Gjust like a Cdream I disGcov-Dered GyouGsus/C  
CHORUS:
GI had a Ddream and I Cgave it a Gname
The Cname that I Dgave it was Gyour Dname
GI had a Ddream and I Cgave it a Gname
The Cname that I Dgave it was Gyou-Dour GnameGsus/C  
INSTRUMENTAL: 
The GMirabeau G/F#Bridge is G/EcrowdedG/D, with the Cones who C/Blove the Amnight
And the Driver D/Claughing D/BendlesslyD/A, like the Gwild Ccafé lGife
Spoke Cwords in every lanGguage, that crossed the CcandleDlight
That Cshines Dlike Glove in the Ceyes that I Gneed DtoGnightGsus/C  
CHORUS:

The Cname that I Dgave it was Gyour Dname
GI had a Ddream and I Cgave it a Gname

James Keelaghan - Mirabeau Bridge

CAPO: 2nd Fret

G G/F# G/E G/D C C/B Am

I went down to see the morning, when the curtains all were drawn

D D/C D/B D/A G C G C

And the sidewalk cafés empty, and the laughing voices gone

G C D

From some upstairs window, in the cold and grey of dawn

C D G C G D G Gsus/C

Came the fa-ded sound of somebody who played my song

CHORUS:

G D C G

I had a dream and I gave it a name

C D G D

The name that I gave it was your name

G D C G

I had a dream and I gave it a name

C D G D G Gsus/C

The name that I gave it was you-our name

G G/F# G/E G/D C C/B Am

I was fighting phantom windmills, made of nothing left to do

D D/C D/B D/A G C G

But live among the shadows, of the days I made it through

C G C D

Full of lies and false pretences, that tomorrow would be new

C D G C G D G Gsus/C

And it was, because, just like a dream I discov-ered you

CHORUS:

G D C G

I had a dream and I gave it a name

C D G D

The name that I gave it was your name

G D C G

I had a dream and I gave it a name

C D G D G Gsus/C

The name that I gave it was you-our name

INSTRUMENTAL:

G G/F# G/E G/D C C/B Am

The Mirabeau Bridge is crowded, with the ones who love the night

D D/C D/B D/A G C G

And the river laughing endlessly, like the wild café life

C G C D

Spoke words in every language, that crossed the candlelight

C D G C G D G Gsus/C

That shines like love in the eyes that I need tonight

CHORUS:

G D C G

I had a dream and I gave it a name

C D G D

The name that I gave it was your name

G D C G

I had a dream and I gave it a name

C D G D G Gsus/C

The name that I gave it was you-our name
