Chords for Billy Strings “Long Forgotten Dream” Live at Outlawfest Bridgeport CT, September 13, 2022

_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Would you listen to the wind as [F#] I sing this three [F#m] English take? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Would you hear the words within the [E] winds that whisper [F#m] as you leave?
_ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [D] Would you see the reasons [F#m] falling from the sky?
_ [G] Or the locusts [A] screaming madly [Bm] as he turned around and died?
[F#m] Did you [G] recognize some message [F#m] too lately? _ _ _ _
Have you felt the atmospheric friction churning up above? _ _ _ _ _ _
As all the traits and descriptions seem to fit just like a glove. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] You see us scratching back [F#m] into the seasons
[D] Drawing circles on our back with [Bm] our dumbfounded expertise
[F#m] Just the thought [G] of this is riddled [F#m] with _ disease. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Can you see the reasons falling from the rhythm of the sun?
_ _ _ _ Oh, I heard you like to tag [E] along but does my melody [F#m] warm you up? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Would you take this path to something [F#m] you desire?
[D] Would you lead us to the doorway?
[Bm] Would you sit down by the fire and [F#m] watch your eyes get [G] filled with love [F#m] instead of fading?
_ _ _ How can you feel the empty chambers [E] of your head [F#m] begin to stay? _ _
_ _ _ _ Leaving nothing but the cavity for all the living to see? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] Would you settle for the empty [F#m] space of day?
[G] Or just kick each dream [Bm] to something else to carry your thoughts [F#m] in?
One foot before the letterless blood
[F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh, you've probably got a doubt [E] that you always [F#m] wonder why _ _
_ _ _ And does this morning rush intrusively [A] to flash your [F#m] winking eyes?
_ [E] _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [D] Do you take it in or leave it [F#m] as a play?
_ [D] Do you give it all to life [Bm] before returning to the grave?
[F#m] Do you think about tomorrow like today?
Oh, _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ [E] Lord, _ _ _ [Bm] _
oh, Lord, [D] oh, _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ Lord
You [C] can turn this all [G]-familiar nightmare _ [B] into a song _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ The sun [Bm] keeps burning
_ [D] And the world [A] keeps turning
_ [C] _ Preaching out [G] and teaching love
[B] Till dawn is _ _ gone
_ [E] Would _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ you listen for the echo [E] of your long [F#m]-forgotten dream? _ _
_ _ _ _ You should listen for the [E] echo of your long [F#m]-forgotten dream _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Thank you folks
