Chords for Neil Diamond - I Dreamed a Dream (Studio Version)

_ _ [Eb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[B] There was a time [Dbm] when girls were [Gb] kind, when their voices were soft [B] and their words inviting.
[E] There was a time when love was blind [B] and the world was a song [E] and that song was exciting.
[Gb] There was a time it all went [Bbm] wrong.
_ [Ebm] _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Gb] I dreamed a dream in time gone [Ebm] by, _ [Gb] _ _
[B] when hope [Bbm] was high and life [Abm] worth living.
_ [Db] _ _
[Gb] I dreamed that love would [Ebm] never die.
_ [Gb] _ _
I [Bbm] dreamed that God would be [Abm] forgiving.
[Db] When _
[Gb] _ I was young and [Ebm] not afraid, [Gb] _ _
[B] when [Bbm] dreams were made and [Abm] used and wasted, [Db] _ _
[Gb] there was no
ransom [Ebm] to be paid.
[Gb] _ _
[B] No [Bbm] song unsung, no [Abm] wine untasted.
[Db] _ _
[Eb] _ But the tigers come at night [Ab] with [Eb] _ their voices [Ab] soft as thunder, [Gm] _ _
[Db] _ as they tear your [Gbm] hope apart, _ _
[Db] _ as they turn your [Gb] dreams to [B] shame. _
[Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Gb] She _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gb] slept [Bbm] the summer by my [Ebm] side.
_ [Db] _ _ [B] She filled [Gb] my days with endless [Abm] wonder.
_ [Gb] _ _ She took my childhood in her [Ebm] stride.
_ [Db] _ _ [B] But she was [Db] gone when autumn [Gb] came.
_ [Db] _ _ [E] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] This little dream she [Fm] told me [Eb] that _
[Db] _ [Cm] we would live the [Bbm] years together.
[Eb] _
[Ab] Oh yeah.
_ _ [Fm] _ [Ab] I had a dream my [Db] life would be _ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] so [Eb] different from this [Ab] hell of living.
So different now from what [Fm] it [Eb] seemed. _
[Db] But [Eb] life can't kill the dream.
I [Ab] dreamed.
_ _ [Fm] I dreamed.
_ [Ab] I [Db] dreamed.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
