Gordon Lightfoot - Dreamland
CAPO: 2nd Fret
         C  Em C7 F  C  G  FG C
[INTRO:]                      
[VERSE 1:]
                  Em
You come to me in times of need
         C7            F
When you can't find anyone 
    C               G
You seem to be much better off now 
          F              G
There's a rainbow number one
[VERSE 2:]
         C                    Em
We could see life through the gutter then 
        C7                 F
Till it caused my heart to break 
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 
    F        G       C
And too much love to take
[VERSE 3:]
              Em
Sometimes I remember when 
        C7                F
We were all dressed up in style 
  C                G
I don't recall the gist of it all 
        F                   G
But you drove the young men wild 
[VERSE 4:]
          C                   Em
You could wrap me around your finger 
       C7                 F
Til it caused my heart to break 
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 
    F        G       C
And too much love to take
[CHORUS:]
                   Em
So, if you need me near you 
        C7           F
You can do it if you choose 
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 
    F        G       C
And too much love to lose
                C  Em C7 F  C  G  FG C
[INSTRUMENTAL:]                      
[VERSE 5:]
                        Em
You make me do what you want me to do 
         C7               F
Then you run the rules on me 
    C              G
You seem to be the wiser now 
         F                G
Could it be you've been deceived 
[VERSE 6:]
   C                  Em
Anytime you felt like trying 
          C7                F
You would cause my heart to break 
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 
    F        G       C
And too much love at stake
[CHORUS:]
                   Em
So, if you need me near you now 
        C7           F
You can do it if you choose 
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 
    F        G       C
And too much love to lose
         C  Em C7 F  C  G  FG C
[OUTRO:]
