[Intro]
G  Gaug  Em  C  G  D  Em
[Verse]
GFloating down Gaugthrough the clouds
Em/GMemories come rushing Cup to meet me now.
But in the Gspace between the heavens
And the Dcorner of some foreign field,C  
I had a Gdream,Em  C  
I had a Gdream.
[Chorus]
GGoodbye Max, Gauggoodbye Ma.
Em/GAfter the service when you're Cwalking slowly to the car
And the Gsilver in her hair shines in the Dcold November air,
You Emhear the tolling bell, and Cmaj7touch the silk in your D/Clapel,C  
And Gas the tear drops rise to meet the Dcomfort of the band,Em  
CYou take her frail Dhand .... and hold on to the dream.
[Instrumental]

GA place to stay, Gaugenough to eat,
EmSomewhere old heroes shuffle Csafely down the street.
Where you can Gspeak out loud about your doubts and Dfears,
And what's more Emno-one ever disappears,
You never hear their standard issue Cmaj7kicking in your door.
GYou can relax on Dboth sides of the tracks,
And maniacs Emdon't blow holes in Cbandsmen by remote contD7/Crol,
And Geveryone has recourse to the Dlaw,
And Cno-one kills the children anyGmore.Em  
CNo-one kills the children anymore.G

His Cdream is Ddriving me inGsane.........
In the Gcorner of some foreign field,
The Dgunner sleeps tonight.

We Gcannot just write off his final Dscene.
CTake heed of the Gdream,Em
