Nightmares Chords by Dana Dane

[Db] _ [Eb] [E] Hello, [Gb] I'd like to see [Eb] Dr.
Slumber, please.
[F] Uh, [Db] do you have an [Cm] appointment, sir?
[G] No, [A] I don't, but tell her Dr.
[Gm] Erdman that I see her.
[Bbm]
Well, [N] just one moment.
Dr.
Slumber, Dr.
Slumber, there's a young man out here named_
Excuse me, what is your name?
Oh, tell her it's Dana Dayne. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Thank you, thank you.
_ _ Well, I walked into the office, [Ebm] what did I see?
A well-shaped [Fm] body with a smile to me,
[C] sitting in a chair, whipping on white [Bb] gowns.
She [N] said, Dana Dayne, would you please lay down?
She said that she wouldn't reveal her face
till my hour was up and I was on my way.
Now we got to the matter of why I came there.
I said, Doc, I keep having these crazy nightmares.
_ Nightmares of the night.
_ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [N] Nightmares, am I right?
Is it just your imagination or reality?
[Ebm] _ [Bb] You keep telling [D] yourself to then make believe.
[Bb] _ But you better [D] relax yourself, won't [Gb] you tell me once
so I [Eb] can diagnose [Fm] and see what must be done.
[Bb] I lay back, my head tried to [Bb] inhale,
caught my breath and then I said, well.
[Db] Right one [Eb] morning I [Bb] was late for [Gb] class,
had [Fm] a fresh pair of friends with Gucci on the glass.
[Gm] Girls, they was [Cm] hawking, dudes, they was [Bb] talking,
so the dog-at-dogs female, I [Ab] kept on walking.
She was on it hard, there was no denying.
Should have seen what this female was trying.
Grabbing on my shirt, tugging on my slacks,
pulling on my zipper bolt, I had to hold her back.
Word up, Doc, I'm the ultimate.
Now if I never saw a creature, this girl was it.
I kept on walking, had to leave this place,
but she was all up on me, breathing in my [Bb] face.
You [Db] may think I'm [E] lying, no, [Bb] it was just a [Ebm] dream.
This girl had [F] the baddest breath I'd ever seen.
[C] I couldn't think straight, thought [Gm] I was [A] doomed.
Heard the bling, bling, [Bb] bling, it was time for homeroom.
I [Db] stepped real [Eb] quick, she tried to [Bb] play it [Ebm] sassy.
She almost ran me [Fm] down, this nasty, fat, [Db] nasty.
[Bb] Dipped to the [Cm] stairs, running [Eb] blind.
Get to my homeroom, ran [E] through my [Bbm] mind.
Got to the fourth [Ebm] floor, standing in the door.
Girlie watching me [F] walk down the corridor.
[Db] The [Bb] guys, they were [C] jealous and [E] getting [N] mad.
And all the girlie wishing they had that glass I had.
Got to my classroom, expect to see the teacher.
Who did I see?
That ugly black creature.
Haul forward, man, standing in the door.
Dinner broke out when the girlie went raw.
Word to my doc, couldn't [Ab] stand the smell.
Heard a 3D, but she was fat as hell.
I ran out the school, I didn't look back.
I tell you, Dr.
Flumba, this girl was whack.
And that's about the time when I awoke.
And I smelled that awful breath, it almost made me choke.
Now tell me, Dr.
Flumba, I can't speak.
Did this dream somehow become [Bb] reality?
I [Db] can't go to [Eb] sleep, cause I'm [E] so damn [Gb] scared.
Cause I [Eb] keep having [F] these dreams that I [Cm] can't sleep.
_ Nighty, [Em] lovely [A] night.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ [G] Nighty, damn right.
[Eb] _ [N] And just your imagination, not reality.
_ [Bbm] _ _
Keep telling [N] yourself that I might believe.
_ Nighty, _ _ _ [Bb] _ nighty.
She said, [Db] listen, Dana, [N] Dana, I think I have the cure.
But I have to hear one more before I'll be sure.
I lay back my head, tried to concentrate.
Then I told her the nightmare about the blind date.
Had a blind date with this girl named Anita.
The fever's the place I suppose I meet her.
Sold her the body with a vicious butt.
How did I know she was a [E] marvelous [Bbm] mutt?
This lady, I [Eb] met, was as [Bb] ugly as [B] hell.
Couldn't [F] go in the gym with this female.
[Abm] I was [Cm] tough and hard, she's [Gm] all just a [Bb] wagon.
[B] Couldn't let them know I would live with this [Bb] dragon.
Grabbed her hand, did the Harlem world.
[Gb] But I left [F] this ugly lady for another girl.
[Db] Now this [Eb] other female, her [G] name was [F] Denise.
Couldn't get no rest, could they follow the beat?
Everywhere I turned, everywhere I looked,
there was Anita, the beast.
She could not be [Db] shook.
I [Bb] dipped, I dived, I ran, I [N] thrived.
But there was no place that I could hide.
She was sniffing me out like a hungry blood hound.
Her tail in the air, [Cm] her nose to the ground.
Only thing left for [Gm] me to do [Bb] was to [Eb] set her up with this other dude.
[Fm] Now this other dude, he was real upset.
Cause this ugly female, he didn't want in check.
He started [Cm] acting wild, even [G] called me a faggot.
What could I do?
He had a tutu [F] automatic.
I dipped into the crowd, made my way to the door.
Bumped into this oppic and I hit the [B] floor.
When I looked up, what did I see?
I saw Anita, the beast, looking down at me.
[Bbm] I couldn't try to play [Eb] it good, couldn't [Bb] try to pretend.
[Gb] Like the [Eb] ASPCA, [F] I had to take it again. _
[G] _ Nightmare [Bm] of the night.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] Nightmare of the night.
_ [Bb] _ [N] Nightmare of the night.
And it's just your imagination, I'm reality.
_ _ Nightmare of the night.
Just keep telling yourself that they're made for me.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gb] _ Now I'm feeding Dr.
Slumber, I just can't bear
to have [C] another one of these crazy nightmares.
Then all of a sudden, she turns around
and staring at me [Bbm] with that all white gown, with a Catholic smile.
[E] Showing [Bb] all her teeth, [Gb] was that [Eb] ugly [F] female, [Bb] Anita, the beast.
Dana?
Dana, honey, wake up.
What's [Db] wrong?
[Cm] You know honey, _ _ you've been having a nightmare.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
