The Dreamer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][Em][Bm][Em][A][Bm][A]

[Verse 1]
When [D]I was a
young man be[G]ginnin' my [D]teens
How well I remember [G]the lickin's I'd
get [Em]cause [D]I'd dream
My work never finished, [G]barely be[D]gun
I couldn't get started till [G]all
of my [Em]dreamin' was [D]done

[Verse 2]
I [D]wouldn't shuck cotton', I
[G]wouldn't chop [D]wood
And Pa would whip me and [G]say
that's for [Em]bein' no [D]good
But I kept chasin' rainbows,
[G]finally I [D]found
The great open range and the [G]hills were
my best dream[Em]in' g[D]round

[Verse 3]
When [Bm]I left the home place
[G]our Mot[F#m]her did cry
She [Bm]begged me to stay there
[G]and [F#m]not say goodbye
My [Bm]Pa told my Mother,[G]
your [F#m]tears are in vain
[Em]Your son is a dreamer and the
[E]winds call his [A]name

[Verse 4]
So [D]don't try to stop him,
[G]let him move [D]on
'Cause he won't stop his driftin'
Till [G]all of his [Em]dreamin' is [D]gone

[Verse 5]
[D][Bm]
[D]Last night in a campfire a [G]face I did [D]see
A vision of Mother,
she [G]seemed to be [Em]callin' to [D]me
For seventeen years now,
I've [G]drifted [D]alone
But I wanna see Mother,
to[G]morrow I start [Em]driftin' [D]home

[Verse 6]
The [Bm]last hill I've climbed now,
[G]and w[F#m]hat do I see
An [Bm]old run down shack where
[G]the ran[F#m]ch used to be
Then [Bm]I see a tombstone
[G]and the[F#m]n see one more
I [Em]drifted too long from the [E]old
ranch house [A]door

[Verse 7]
[D]There's nothin' more left now but [G]driftin',
it [D]seems
But I hope I can dream of [G]the
lickin's I'd get
'Cause [D]I'd dream
