_ _ I had a [Gm] dream
I was following [Eb] a barefoot [D] girl beside [Gm] a stream
_ That [Bb] flowed around the [D] world
[Eb] We spoke of [F] many things
Though [Bb] our mouths [Eb] never moved
[Cm] As the most [F] peculiar scenes were [Bb] disappearing [D] into view
Oh, [Gm] what a dream
_ Beyond [Eb] the rattle [D] of white pretty [Gm] little beings
[Bb] Beneath a yawning [D]
sky
[Eb] _ Speaking of [F] God [Bb] as though they [Eb] could define
[Cm]
Music to [F] the deaf
[Bbm] And color to [D] the blind
Or [Gm] God to man _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Cm] And then the leaves became [Abm] a thousand _ tears
[Cm] I was on my knees in a [Abm] crazy house of [Cm] mirrors
Couldn't find my face but I [Abm] was a dry mirror
[Cm] _
Hush, baby, [D] sweet _ baby
[Gm] _ [F] Hush, [Eb] don't you [D] cry
And [Gm] I thought I awoke
And my [Eb] mother was standing [D] there
And [Gm] my heart broke
As the [Bb] ribbons in [D] her [Eb] hair
Turned [F] into [Bb] highways surrounded in [Eb] this world
[Cm] Like a crown [F] come down around a not-so [D]-perfect world
In the [Gm] corner of the dream
Was the man with the blue [Gb] guitar
It [Gm] had no strings
But the music touched the [D] stars
[Eb] These long [F] dark curls turned [Bb] to gold before [Eb] my eyes
[Cm] The [F] barefoot girl smiled [C] off to the side
And it [Gm] was green _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [D] _ _ [Cm] Then a thousand birds took [Abm] flight with a joyful _ [Cm] noise
And I heard the angels upon [Abm] high rejoice _
I could see my face and I recognized [Abm]
the _ [Cm] voice
Hush, baby, [D] sweet _ baby
[Gm] _ [F] Hush, baby, [D] _ _ hush _
[Gm] It's just a dream
One of [Bb] those that goes on and [D] on, scene [Gm] after scene
With the rhythm [Eb] of a gypsy [D] _ song
[Eb] When I [F] really woke, [Bb] I was frozen in [Eb] between
[Cm] Didn't know who [F] I was, it [Bb] was a dream inside a [D] dream
It's just [Gm] a dream
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [D]
Oh, [Gm] what a dream _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [D] It's [Gm] all a dream _ _ _ _ _
