[Intro]

                                    Eb
There was a time when men were kind

When their voices were soft
Ab/C
     And their words inviting

Eb7 
    There was a time when love was blind
Cm
   And the world was a song
Db
   And the song was exciting
Eb
   There was a time

Then it all went wrong

( Eb  Eb/D  Cm  Eb/G  Ab  Ab/Bb )

[Primeira Parte]

Eb                Eb/D             Cm7  Cm7/Bb
   I dreamed a dream in time gone by
Ab                Ab/G
   When hope was high
                Fm7   Bb7(13)  Bb
And life worth living

Eb                 Eb/D
   I dreamed that love 
             Cm7  Cm7/Bb 
Would never die
Ab                 Ab/G
   I dreamed that God 
               Fm7  Bb7(13)  Bb 
Would be forgiving 

Eb             Eb/D          Cm7  Cm7/Bb
   Then I was young and unafraid
Ab                  Ab/G         Fm7 
   And dreams were made and used 
        Bb7(13)  Bb
And wasted

Eb               Eb/D         Cm7  Cm7/Bb
   There was no ransom to be paid
Ab            Ab/G  
   No song unsung
           Fm7   Bb7(13)  Bb
No wine untasted

[Segunda Parte]

C          C/E            Fm
  But the tigers come at night
C                             F     F/A
  With their voices soft as thunder
Bb          Bb/D            Ebm
   As they tear your hope apart
Bb       Bb7                     Eb
   And they turn your dream to shame

( Fm/Eb  Eb  Ab/Eb  Bb )

[Terceira Parte]

Eb             Eb/D         Cm7  Cm7/Bb       
   He slept a summer by my side
Ab               Ab/G
   He filled my days 
              Fm7   Bb7(13)  Bb 
With endless wonder
Eb              Eb/D      
   He took my childhood
          Cm7  Cm7/Bb  
In his stride
Ab             Bb7(13)  Bb     
   But he was gone when autumn came

( Eb  Eb/D  Bbm6/Db  C )

[Quarta Parte]

F                F/E 
  And still I dream 
               Dm7  F/E
He'll come to me
Bb               F/A 
   That we will live
             Gm7   C7(13)  C
The years together
F                  F/E 
  But there are dreams
             Dm7  F/C  
That cannot be
Bb                 F/A 
   And there are storms
            Gm7
We cannot weather

( C7(13)  C  F  F/E )

[Final]

Dm7           F/C                Bb  F/A
    I had a dream my life would be
Gm7               Bb/C     C        F
   So different from this hell I'm living
              F/E               Dm7  F/C
So different now from what it seemed
Bb               C               
   Now life has killed the dream 
    F
I dreamed

( F/E  Dm7  Dm7/C  Bb  C  F )
