[Verse 1]
Now [C]here's a song called
Dream
Shine
[F]Through.[C]
[Am][C][D][G]
[C][F][C][Am][C]
[Am][G][C]
An old man lay dying
beneath [F]cold city [C]skies
An ominous look in his [D]derelict [G]eyes
[C]The moment of death, for [F]him had no [C]sting
[Am]His [C]soul had the power
to [G]grant him one thing
[C]So he sai[F]d, let my dream shine through
[C]Let [F]my dream shine thr[C]ough
Passing nearby was a [F]shiny black car
[C]In the front, a chauffeur, in the bac[D]k, a
cigar
[G]That [C]lit up the face of a
[F]middle -aged [C]man
[Am]Who [C]bought and
sold stock like [G]nobody [C]can
He [F]said, let my dream shine [C]through
[F]Let my dream shine [C]through

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][Am][C]
[D][G][C][F]
[C][G][Am][C][Am][G][C][Am]
[C]Close by two

[Verse 2]
young lovers
[F]were getting it [C]on
And of all the positions
they [D]knew everyone
[G]An [C]d after they tried
every [F]trick in the [C]book
[Am]He l[C]ay on the bed with a faraw[G]ay look [C]thinking,
[F]let my dream shine thr[C]ough, let[F] my dream shine
[C]through.[Am]
[C]My seat nearby was anoth[F]er big car
[C]This time in the back was
[D]a rock 'n 'roll [G]star
An[C]d that night at the concert
the [F]fans all went wild
[C]as [Am]he st[C]rummed his guitar and sang thr[G]ough
his [C]smile singing [F]let my dream shine [C]through
[F]Let my dream shine thr[C]ough
Well the fans went home happy
[F]An d so did the [C]stars
Likewise the young lovers
And the [D]man in the [G]car
[C]But as the old man
turned [F]over and [C]died.[Am]

[Verse 3]
For [C]a moment, all the others felt [G]cold

[Verse 4]
and [G]empty [C]inside.
[F][G][C]

[Verse 5]
Alas, it's not a perfect world, is it?
So, once again, we come to
Roger's favorite moment in the evening.
But this is philosophy.
Think about this philosophy.
Country music is philosophy, you know,
for such as the broken promiscuity of truth, that
Less is mortality and decadence,
merely something that happens
every 10 years or so.
You all like country music?
I say, y 'all like country music?
All right.
You won't after this, I promise you.
