** - The chords for the first verse follow the intro vamp, 
**   In general, think of C like a pickup into the next chord.
**   just to place the chord markers as exactly on the words
**   but it makes the chord changes easier to parse when 
I have the dream, always the same,
I was in white and falling,
Pretty red rose, pinned to my clothes,
I had the dream as always;
Instrumental Vamp (in 4/4)
