By the way, most of these things that we're doing tonight are songs that Joe and Butch
and I wrote together.
And this is another one of the ones.
We wrote this last year, but it sounds like it's from a long, long, long time ago.
But we don't think we stole it.
Nobody's come up with it.
The original, if we did.
Now that you said that on TV.
You're going to get all kinds of letters.
Well we've always had these problems with ownership in these songs because Butch used
to dream songs, but in these dreams I would be singing them.
So there's a question there, don't you think?
Well sometimes you were actually on tape in the [Eb] dream.
There [G] was one time when Butch actually had to go back to sleep and back up the tape recorder
in order to write down [G] the last verse.
[Eb] And I asked him how he found the tape recorder in a dream.
I recognized it because it was Jimmy's dad's old web core reel-to-reel tape recorder.
And it was Jimmy singing on the tape.
He had a little bin that was like a little cigar box of guitars and [Eb] fiddles, you know,
Jiminy Cricket [Db] kind of band.
But it was a real pretty song.
And it's, that was not the song that we're going to do right now.
[N]
[Em] Well I guess we better do it.
We're wasting tape, huh?
[A]
[G] [C]
Wildest dreams grow wilder [G] every day.
There's nothing I can think or do [C] or say.
To make this crazy dreaming go [G] away.
My wildest dreams grow wilder [C] every day.
[F] I wake up in the morning and [C] I go to sleep at night.
[D] Somewhere in between the two [G] I swear I'll get it right.
[C] My wildest dreams grow wilder [G] every day.
I'm wondering just how far my [C] mind can stray.
I only hope to pray my dear [G] someday.
I'll dream one dream wild enough to make [C] you say.
[C] [Em] [Em]
[G] [Em] [C]
[G]
[A] [C]
My wildest dreams grow wilder every [G] day.
But are they wild enough to make you [C] stay?
Or does dreaming only make [G] you stay away?
My wildest dreams grow wilder [C] every day.
[F] My daydreams and my nightmares are [C] so real there's no mistake.
[D] It wouldn't be so [A] bad if I was not so wide awake.
[C] My wildest dreams grow wilder [G] every day.
There's nothing I can think or [C] do or say.
I only hope and pray my dear [G] someday.
I'll dream one dream wild enough to [C] make you [G] say.
My wildest dreams grow wilder.
My wildest dreams grow [E] wilder.
My wildest [G] dreams grow wilder [C] every day.
