The Dreamin' Tom Russell
THE DREAMIN�?? -Tom Russell
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
Oh, whiskey�??s the life of man, but whiskey�??s mostly water
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
And it�??s whiskey fuels the worker, and corrupts his only daughter
[F] [C] [F] [C]
The mountain water�??s in the still, the copper pipes a�?? steamin�??
[F] [Em] [Dm] [A/C] [G/B] [G]
There�??ll soon be whiskey in the glass, and dreamers gone to dreamin�??
[F] [Em]
Chorus: Oh it�??s the dreamin�??, it�??s the dreamin�??
[F] [Dm] [G]
A young girl�??s prayer, an old man�??s thoughts a reelin�??
[F] [G] [Am]
Two lovers stealin�??, the moonlight beamin�??
[Dm] [G] [C]
Oh it�??s the dreamin�??, it�??s the dreamin�??
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 Liffey�??s walls, to the back rooms down at Whelan�??s
But oh how sweet her poison now I�??m drowning in the dreamin�??
Chorus: Oh it�??s the dreamin�??, it�??s the dreamin�??
A young girl�??s prayer, an old man�??s thoughts are reelin�??
Two lovers stealin�??, the moonlight beamin�??
Oh it�??s the dreamin�??, it�??s the dreamin�??
Oh whiskey�??s made of water, lads. Barley, corn or malt
And man and woman�??s water, mixed with poetry and salt
Bring on the pullin�?? of the tides, the flash of eyes a gleamin�??
When passion blends the elements, the yeast is but the dreamin�??
Chorus: Oh it�??s the dreamin�??, it�??s the dreamin�??
A young girl�??s prayer, an old man�??s thoughts are reelin�??
Two lovers stealin�??, the moonlight beamin�??
The search for meaning, leads through the dreamin�??
Oh whiskey�??s the life of man�?��?�
