(Verse 1) 
 Let the Ariver Dsus2rock you like a AcradleDsus2  
 AClimb to the Dsus2treetops, child, if you're AableDsus2  
 Let your Ahands tie a kDsus2not across the Atable.Dsus2  
 ACome and F#mtouch the things you canBmnot feel.Dsus2  
 And Aclose your Dsus2fingertips and Afly where I can't Dsus2hold you
 ALet the Dsus2sun-rain fall and Alet the dewy clouds Dsus2enfold you
 AAnd maybe Dsus2you can sing to Ame the words Dsus2I just told you,A  
 If F#mall the things you Bmfeel ain't what they Dsus2seem.
 AAnd don't   Dsus2mind me   A'cause I ain't Dsus2nothin' but a Adream.Dsus2  A  Dsus2  
(Verse 2) 
 The Amocking bird Dsus2sings each different AsongDsus2  
 Each Asong has Dsus2wings - they won't stay Along.Dsus2  
 ADo those who Dsus2hear think he's Adoing wrong?Dsus2  
 AWhile the church bell Dsus2tolls its one-note AsongDsus2  
 And Athe school bell is Dsus2tinkling to the Athrong.Dsus2  
 ACome here F#mwhere your ears cannot Bmhear.Dsus2  
 And Aclose your Dsus2eyes, child, and Alisten to what I'll Dsus2tell you
 AFollow Dsus2in the darkest Anight the sounds that may imDsus2pel you
 AAnd the song that Dsus2I am singing may Adisturb or serve to Dsus2quell youA  
 If alF#ml the sounds you hear Bmain't what they Dsus2seem,
 Then Adon't   Dsus2mind me   A'cause I ain't Dsus2nothin' but Aa dreamDsus2  A  Dsus2  
(Verse 3) 
 AThe rising Dsus2smell of fresh-cut gArassDsus2  
 SmoAthered cities Dsus2choke and yell with Afuming gasDsus2  
 I Ahold some Dsus2grapes up to tAhe sunDsus2  
 And Atheir flavour Dsus2breaks upon my Atongue.Dsus2  
 With Aea---Dsus2ger tongues Awe taste our strifeDsus2  
 AAnd fill our Dsus2lungs with Aseas of life.Dsus2  
 ACome taste and F#msmell the waters Bmof our time.Dsus2  
 And Aclose your Dsus2lips, child, so Asoftly I might Dsus2kiss you,A  
 Let your Dsus2flower perfume Aout and let the winds caDsus2ress you.A  
 As I Dsus2walk on through the garAden, I am hoping I don't Dsus2miss youA  
 If all F#mthe things you taste ain't Bmwhat they seem,Dsus2  
 AThen don't Dsus2mind me   'Acause I ain't Dsus2nothin' buAt a dream.Dsus2  A  Dsus2  
(Verse 4)
The suDsus2n and moon both aAriseDsus2  A  
And we'll Dsus2see them soon through Adays and nightsDsus2  
But Anow silver leaves Dsus2are mirrors, bring deAlights.Dsus2  
And the Acolours of your Dsus2eyes are fiery Abright,Dsus2  
While Adarkness blinDsus2ds the skies with Aall its light.Dsus2  
ACome see wheF#mre your eyes canBmnot see.Dsus2  
And Aclose your Dsus2eyes, child, and Alook at what I'll Dsus2show you;A  
Let your Dsus2mind go reeling out   Aand let the breezes Dsus2blow you,A  
And maybe Dsus2when we meet then   Asuddenly I will Dsus2know you.A  
If alF#ml   the things you see Bmain't what they seemDsus2,
Then   Adon't Dsus2mind me    A'cause I ain't Dsus2nothin' Abut a dream.Dsus2

(Intro)

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2

(Verse 1)

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Let the river rock you like a cradle

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Climb to the treetops, child, if you're able

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Let your hands tie a knot across the table.

A F#m Bm Dsus2

Come and touch the things you cannot feel.

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

And close your fingertips and fly where I can't hold you

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Let the sun-rain fall and let the dewy clouds enfold you

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

And maybe you can sing to me the words I just told you,

F#m Bm Dsus2

If all the things you feel ain't what they seem.

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2

And don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.

(Verse 2)

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

The mocking bird sings each different song

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Each song has wings - they won't stay long.

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Do those who hear think he's doing wrong?

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

While the church bell tolls its one-note song

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

And the school bell is tinkling to the throng.

A F#m Bm Dsus2

Come here where your ears cannot hear.

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

And close your eyes, child, and listen to what I'll tell you

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Follow in the darkest night the sounds that may impel you

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

And the song that I am singing may disturb or serve to quell you

F#m Bm Dsus2

If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem,

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream

(Verse 3)

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

The rising smell of fresh-cut grass

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

I hold some grapes up to the sun

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

And their flavour breaks upon my tongue.

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

With ea---ger tongues we taste our strife

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

And fill our lungs with seas of life.

A F#m Bm Dsus2

Come taste and smell the waters of our time.

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

And close your lips, child, so softly I might kiss you,

Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

Let your flower perfume out and let the winds caress you.

Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

As I walk on through the garden, I am hoping I don't miss you

F#m Bm Dsus2

If all the things you taste ain't what they seem,

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.

(Verse 4)

Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

The sun and moon both arise

Dsus2 A Dsus2

And we'll see them soon through days and nights

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

But now silver leaves are mirrors, bring delights.

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

And the colours of your eyes are fiery bright,

A Dsus2 A Dsus2

While darkness blinds the skies with all its light.

A F#m Bm Dsus2

Come see where your eyes cannot see.

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

And close your eyes, child, and look at what I'll show you;

Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

Let your mind go reeling out and let the breezes blow you,

Dsus2 A Dsus2 A

And maybe when we meet then suddenly I will know you.

F#m Bm Dsus2

If all the things you see ain't what they seem,

A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2

Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.
