Bob Dylan's Dream Tabulatur von Bob Dylan

G Am
While riding on a train going west
C D
I fell asleep for to take my rest.
D7 D G
I dreamed a dream that made me sad
Am D C G
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.

G Am
With half damp eyes I stared to the room
C D
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,
D7 D G
Where we together weathered many a storm,
Am D C G
Laughing and singing 'till the early hours of the morn.

G Am
By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung,
C D
Our words were told and our songs were sung;
D7 D G
We longed for nothing and were satisfied
Am D C G
Talking and joking about the world outside.

G Am
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,
C D
We never thought we could get very old
D7 D G
We thought we could sit forever in fun
Am D C G
Though our chances really were a million to one.

G Am
As easy it was to tell black from white,
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right;
D7 D G
Our choices were few and the thought never hit
Am D C G
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split.

G Am
Ah many a year has passed and gone,
C D
And many a gamble has been lost and won;
D7 D G
And many a road taken by many a friend,
Am D C G
And each one of them I've never seen again.

G Am
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
C D
That we could sit simply in that room once again;
D7 D G
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,
Am D C G
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.

G Am
While riding on a train going west
C D
I fell asleep for to take my rest.
D7 D G
I dreamed a dream that made me sad
Am D C G
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.
