When I was [Em] a boy I had [Am] a dream
[C] [F] All about [Am] the things I'd like [Dm] to be
[F] [G] Soon as I was in my bed [F] Music played [G] inside my [Em] head
When I [G] was a boy I [C] had a dream
When I was [Em] a boy I learned [Am] to play
[C] [F] Far into [Am] the night and drift [Dm] away
[F] [G] Don't wanna work on the milk or the bread [F] Just wanna play [G] my guitar [Em] instead
When I [G] was a boy I [C] had a dream
And [Em] radio [Am]
[C] waves kept [F] me [A] [Dm] company
In [C] those [Em] beautiful [Am] days [C] When [F] there [A] was [Dm] no money
When I [Bb] was a boy I [C] had a dream
When I was [Em] a boy I had [Am] a dream
[C] [F] Finding out [Am] what life could [Dm] really mean
[F] [G] Don't want a job cause it drives me crazy [F] Just wanna sing [G] do you love me baby
[Em] When I [G] was a boy I had [C] a dream
And [Em] radio [Am] waves [C] kept [F] me [A] [Dm] company
