MAJOR TO MINOR: What Does "I Dreamed a Dream" Sound Like in a Minor Key? (Les Misérables Cover) chords
Start Jamming...
Hey everyone, so for this video I decided to do something a little bit different.
I was having some issues with my desktop computer and my MIDI keyboard that I normally use to record songs.
So while waiting on a replacement part, I decided to create this one on my MacBook
using nothing more than my mouse and GarageBand.
So yeah, no actual real instruments were used in the creation of this one.
I just clicked out every note and drum beat on my trackpad in GarageBand.
And that's what you'll be seeing on the left side of the video.
As far as the song goes, I took on I Dreamed a Dream from Les Mis.
Surprisingly, this really sad song is originally in a major key.
So I wanted to see if changing it to a minor key offered any additional melancholy effect.
That's about it.
Hope you like it.

[F] [Bb] [C]
When I [Ebm] was young and [B]
[Eb] unafraid
[Abm]
And dreams were made and used and wasted
[Ebm]
There was no ransom [B] to be paid
[Ebm] [Abm]
No song unsung, no wine untasted
[Ebm] [Bb]
[C] [B]
But the tigers [Abm]
come at night
[B]
With their voices [F] soft as thunder
[Bb]
As they tear your [Ebm]
hopes apart
[Bb] As they turn your [Ebm] dream to [F] shade
[Eb] [Abm]
[Bb] [Ebm]
She slept a summer [B] by my [Ebm] side
[Abm]
She filled [B] my days with [F] endless wonder
[Bb] She [Ebm]
took my childhood [B] in her [Bb] stride
[Abm] But she [Ebm] was gone when autumn came
[Bb] And [Db]
[Ebm] [C] [F]
I [Em] still dream she'll [Db] come to [Ab] me
[Bb] We [Ab] will live the years [Gm]
together
But [C]
[Fm] there are [C] [Cm]
years
[C]
[Db] And there [Fm] are storms we [Db] cannot weather
[Ab] [Fm]
And I [E] don't know how [Db] that would [C] [Bbm]
be
[Db] So [G]
different [C] from this hell [Fm] I'm living
So different now from what [Db] it seemed
[G] Has
[G] [Ab]
killed the dream I [F] dreamed
[E]
[N]
And this helps me out more than you can imagine in getting new videos and songs out to you guys.
No pledge is too small and I cannot express how much I would appreciate it.
And a special thanks goes out to
Thanks so much for watching and as always, there's more on the way.
See you soon.
