Bob Dylan – Bob Dylan's Dream (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan)
Capo III
I'm pretty sure these are the correct lyrics. I also tried to illustrate the elongated syllables and pauses.
Because of this weird meter, I think it is actually rather hard to sing correctly.
The A in the second line does'nt feel necessary to me, so check for yourselves if you need it or not.
Since this is my first tab, please comment heavily.
While Eriding on a F#mtrain going west,
        (  A)         B  
I fell asleep for to take my rest,
IiEiiii dreamed a dream that mAade me sEad,
Concerning mysBelf ... and the fAirst few friends I hEad.
With hEalf damp eyes I stF#mared to the room,
                   (  A)      B  
Where my friends and I spent many'n afternoon,
WheeEeeeere we together weathered mAany a Estorm,
Laughing and sBinging ... 'till the eAarly hours of the Emorn.
By the Eold wooden stove where our F#mhats was hung,
              (  A)      B  
Our words was told, our songs was sung;
WeeEeeee longed for nothing and werAe satisfEied,
Joking and tBalking ... about thAeee wooorld outsEide.
With hEungry hearts through the F#mheat and cold,
              (  A)             B  
We never much thought we could get very old;
WeeEeeee thought we could sit forAever in fEun,
And our chances rBeally ... was a mAillion to oEne.
(HARMONICA PART)
As eEasy it was to tell bF#mlack from white,
                (  A)          B  
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right;
An' our choEices they was few, so the thAought never hEit,
That the one road we trBaveled ... woul'Aever shatter or spElit.
Ah mEany a year has pF#massed and gone,
       (  A)           B  
Many' gamble has been lost and won;
And mEany a road taken by mAany a first frEiend,
And each oBne ... I've nAever seen aEgain.
I wiEsh, I wish, I wish in F#mvain,
                 (  A)            B  
That we could sit simply in that room again;
TeeeEeeeen thousand dollars at the drAop of a haaEaaaat,
I'd give it all glBadly ... if our lAives could be like tEhat.
