F#mLast night in the Emiddle of a dream DI started thinking bout Russian
F#mHill
And Ferlinghetti with his Coney Island mEind
DAnd you and me with F#msome time to fillE  D  F#m  
F#mWe ate in Chinatown wEe rode the cable car
DWe did what tourists always F#mdo
F#mBut in the dream Eyou were a movie star Dand I was someone F#mtoo
Was that the two of us Ein love F#mwhy did it end so Esoon
DI don't believe in C#mfallin out of love DI never met the C#mman in the moon
DIf it's so hard to fC#mind the key  Dit's not the singer  it's the F#mtune
F#mSun high in the ECalifornia sky
DWe walked around the beach around F#mMonterey
True confessions in a ESausalito bar the Dwindows
DShinning across the F#mbay
The age of innocence and Esearching in the dark
DFor what we'd never F#mseen
And so we could taste the Esweetness of our lives Din bitter F#mmescaline
Was that the two of us in Elove F#mwhy did it end so Esoon
DI don't believe in C#mfallin out of love DI never met the C#mman in the moon
DIf it's so hard to C#mfind the key  Dit's not the singer  it's the F#mtune
