In the morning when I wake up
F
and listen to the sound
C
F
Of the birds outside on the roof
C
F
I try to ignore what the paper says
C
F
And I try not to read all the news
C
F
And I’ll hold you if you had a bad dream
C
F
And I hope it never comes true
C
‘Cause you and I been through
F
so many things together
C
F
And the sun starts climbing the roof
F
C
It’s a dream
C
G
Only a dream
G
F
G
And it’s fading now
G
C
Fading away
C
G
It’s only a dream
F
G
C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
C
F
The Red River stills flows through my home town
C
F
Rollin’ and tumblin’ on its way
C
F
Swirling around the old bridge pylons
C
F
Where a boy fishes the morning away
C
F
His bicycle leans on an oak tree
C
F
While the cars rumble over his head
C
F
An aeroplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky
C
F
And the young birds call out to be fed
F
C
It’s a dream
C
G
Only a dream
G
F
G
And it’s fading now
G
C
Fading away
C
G
It’s only a dream
F
G
C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
C
F
An old man walks along on the sidewalk
C
F
Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
C
F
The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away
C
F
As he stops with the policeman to chat
C
F
And a train rolls out of the station
C
F
That was really somethin’ in its day
C
F
Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails
C
F
As it carries the passengers away
F
C
It’s gone
C
G
Only a dream
G
F
G
And it’s fading now
G
C
Fading away
C
G
It’s only a dream
F
G
C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
F
C
It’s a dream
C
G
Only a dream
G
F
G
And it’s fading now
G
C
Fading away
C
G
It’s only a dream
F
G
C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
F
C
It’s a dream
C
G
Only a dream
G
F
G
And it’s fading now
G
C
Fading away
