Topic: dreaming bout a dream

Dreaming 'Bout a DreamUndefined


[E] Wake me up in the morning.


If [C#m] you've got nothing to do.


[F#7] I don't mind sitting round.


[B7] Doing nothing with you.




[E] You're always going somewhere.


You're [C#m] always on the go.


[F#7] I just want a quiet life.


With [B7] someone that I love.


[soc]


(CHORUS)




[Ab] I had dreams when I was young.


[C#m] Everything but having fun.


[F#7] Never been to anywhere.


That [B7] I would want to go back there.


[eoc]





So, [E] let me take a shower.


I [C#m] wont take all that time.


If [F#] only I had summer clothes.


[B7] Hanging on the line.


[E] We could walk in the sunshine.


Strole [C#m] down to the beach.


[F#] Build some castles in the sand.


Go [B7] swimming in the sea.


(CHORUS)




[E] Wake me up in the morning.


Or [F#7] let me sleep till late.


I'm [A] only dreaming 'bout a dream that's [E] gone.

Re: dreaming bout a dream

Another excellent song.  I have been retired for a while now the other week I had this vivid  dream I was late for work and I woke up jumped out of bed. I was in a bit of a panic thinking I better ring and let them know I am running late. My wife woke up and said are you alright when it hit me I don't work there any more. .That little bit of a bass vocal worked brilliant in your song I love whole arrangement.

Phill

Great performance =- I absolutely love how you created the background singers ( I am assuming they are you as well ).
Superb arrangement!
This song makes feel like I just got up- had a cup of coffee sitting on my porch - just started to play my guitar  and suddenly realized it wasn't Saturday as my students from school went by on a bus, waving  at me as they passed by my house. 

Cool song.
