[N]
[F] [G] [C]
Daddy brought home a photograph [F] from the paper [C] yesterday
[G] [C]
It showed a line of wagons [F] moving someplace far [G] away
[F] That picture made my daddy smile, [C] it made my mama [Am] cry
It seems [F] like daddy's wagonload of dreams had long since passed [G] her by
But [F] the dream that makes a sparrow fly [C] can make an eagle fall
[F] And while it makes a rich man money, [C] it ain't no dream [G] at all
It's a crime [F] and a shame to wake up just to find [C] this old [G] and broken [Am] tomb
[F] Careful what you're dreaming, cause it someday may come [C] true
He talked on all through supper time about the [F] good prospector's [C] life
Couldn't see mama didn't want to be [F] no good prospector's [G] wife
He said [F] we best sail out and go before [C] the weather turns [Am] too cold
And [F] maybe buy ourselves an extra horse to carry [G] all that gold
But [F] the dream that makes a sparrow fly [C] can make an eagle fall
[F] And while it makes a rich man money, [C] it ain't no dream [G] at all
It's a crime [F] and a shame to wake up just to [C] find this old and broken [Am] tomb
[F] Careful what you're dreaming, cause it someday may [C] come true

[Am]
[F]
[C]
I got up soon as the first light came [F] to start the morning [C] [G] fire
[C]
Wondering if my mama's will [F] could cool that [G] man's desire
And [F] inside that stove upon the coals [C] and ash and [Am] paper laid
There [F] was a ghostly line of wagon moving some place far [G] away
[F] And the dream that makes a sparrow fly [C] can make an eagle fall
And [F] while it makes a rich man money, [C] it ain't no dream [G] at all
It's a crime [F] and a shame to wake up just to find [C] this old and broken [Am] tomb
[F] Careful what you're dreaming, cause it someday may come [C] true
[F] Oh, be careful what you're dreaming, cause it someday may come true
