"These Dreams Of You"
By Sam Stewart
G: 320033 D: x00232
G6/9: 302033 Em: 02200x
G9: 303033 C: x32010
C#+9: x43020
G G6/9 G G6/9 G C
I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
C#+9 D G G6/9 G G6/9 G
Left me to come through
C
I headed for the right way
C#+9 D G G6/9 G G6/9 G
I knew exactly just what to do
C
I dreamed we played cards in the dark
C#+9 D G G6/9 G G6/9 G
And you lost and you lied
C
Wasn't very hard to do
C#+9 D G G6/9 G G6/9 G
But hurt me deep down inside
Chorus:
C D G G6/9 G G6/9
Mmmmmm, these dreams of you
C D G G6/9 G G6/9
So real and so true
C D G G6/9 G G6/9
These dreams of you
C D G G6/9 G9 G6/9 G
So real So true
My back was up against the wall
And you slowly just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that way
With my face against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
Then you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sow
Chorus:
Bridge:
Em D G G6/9 G G6/9
And hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it
Em D G G6/9 G G6/9
Go to sleep don't ever say one word
Em D G Em C D G G6/9 G9 G6/9 G
Close you eyes, you are an angel sent down from above
And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
A crowd of people gathered round
To the question answered "yes"
And you slapped me on face
I turned around the other cheek
you couldn't really stand the pace
And I would never be so meek
Chorus:
Bridge:
