SONG:   THE DREAM
ARTIST: RUFUS WAINWRIGHT
TAB BY: DON CZARSKI
EMAIL:  GUITARZAN7@HOTMAIL.COM
NOTE: I would suggest using Barre chords to play
      this song in place of open chords.
      Songs that are all piano songs to me are more
      difficult to make a guitar chord tab of then other 
      songs are because a piano can add and do so much more.
      Please keep that in mind when playing this song
      with a guitar and rating this tab. I believe this
      chord tab is true to the song and works very well.
