(Verse 1)
A
Forgive me master if I hear
                 E     F#
No rhyme in your glory ode
   D                  A       E
As it was sung in the days of yore
F#m             E7
Now we sing our own
A
You see I got this dream
                                       E     F#m
Of turning grey and having cleared off every plate
       D             A          E
And to never look to tomorrow's rogues
F#m                  E7
To say they went too far today

D  A  E  A
D  A  E     D7  C#  B


(Verse 2)
A
To long to waken every soul
                          E     F#m
From the calm that quells their storm
         D                      A           E
From the peace that blinds them through the time
F#m                           E7
When they should have gone to war
A
Mother crying we forlorn our dreams
                         E   F#m
Father hold them through the reigns
        D                    A         E
Let the thieves not take her away from me
F#m               E7
And turn her to a slave


(Chorus)
       D        A
Of the dreams
       E        A
Of the dreams
       D        A     E.....D7, C#, B
Of the dreams
A              D      A
The dreams are of the morning
       D         E
Let me nighttime on in
                      D
May the sirens turn-a shrugging
                 A        D     A
As we carry on-a laughing
      E          D                A
As we carry on-a laughing all the way
F#m    E      D7
              laughing all the way
D7       C#      B    A.....D7, C#, B, A, E7?
laughing all the way


(Verse 3)
A
May there always be fish in your streams
          E       F#m
And water in your wells
    D                  A     E
And those that peddled empty handed
F#m                                E7
We'll take the silver and run like hell!
A
May there always be rage in your heart
                E          F#m
When the master brings the reins
   D                                   A   E
To detest the thieves of our daughters and sons
F#m                E7
And raise from the dead


(Chorus)
     D     A
Today,
     E     A
today,
     D     A
today
E...........D7, C#, B
Hey
A         D       A
The dreams of the morning
       D         E
Let me nighttime on in
                      D
May the devils come a crying
                A         D    A
Carry me away a laughing
      E                    D7    C#      B
As we all go a laughing to story telling breaks
A    F#m   E   D7    C#      B
            To story telling breaks
A    F#m   E   D7    C#      B
            To story telling breaks


(Ending)
A         D       A
The dreams of the morning
       D         E
Let me nighttime on in
                      D
May the devils come a crying
                A         D    A
Carry me away a laughing
      E                    D7    C#      B
As we all go a laughing to story telling breaks
A    F#m   E   D7    C#      B
            To story telling breaks

A    F#m   E   D7    C#      B
