The Dreamin' Tom Russell
THE DREAMINâ?? -Tom Russell
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
Oh, whiskeyâ??s the life of man, but whiskeyâ??s mostly water
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
And itâ??s whiskey fuels the worker, and corrupts his only daughter
[F] [C] [F] [C]
The mountain waterâ??s in the still, the copper pipes aâ?? steaminâ??
[F] [Em] [Dm] [A/C] [G/B] [G]
Thereâ??ll soon be whiskey in the glass, and dreamers gone to dreaminâ??
[F] [Em]
Chorus: Oh itâ??s the dreaminâ??, itâ??s the dreaminâ??
[F] [Dm] [G]
A young girlâ??s prayer, an old manâ??s thoughts a reelinâ??
[F] [G] [Am]
Two lovers stealinâ??, the moonlight beaminâ??
[Dm] [G] [C]
Oh itâ??s the dreaminâ??, itâ??s the dreaminâ??
Oh I met her down in Dublin town, like a bottle fly I fell
To the spider in the Blackbush of the old railway hotel
She spun her web from Liffeyâ??s walls, to the back rooms down at Whelanâ??s
But oh how sweet her poison now Iâ??m drowning in the dreaminâ??
Chorus: Oh itâ??s the dreaminâ??, itâ??s the dreaminâ??
A young girlâ??s prayer, an old manâ??s thoughts are reelinâ??
Two lovers stealinâ??, the moonlight beaminâ??
Oh itâ??s the dreaminâ??, itâ??s the dreaminâ??
Oh whiskeyâ??s made of water, lads. Barley, corn or malt
And man and womanâ??s water, mixed with poetry and salt
Bring on the pullinâ?? of the tides, the flash of eyes a gleaminâ??
When passion blends the elements, the yeast is but the dreaminâ??
Chorus: Oh itâ??s the dreaminâ??, itâ??s the dreaminâ??
A young girlâ??s prayer, an old manâ??s thoughts are reelinâ??
Two lovers stealinâ??, the moonlight beaminâ??
The search for meaning, leads through the dreaminâ??
Oh whiskeyâ??s the life of manâ?¦â?¦
