[Intro] C  F7M 

        C                         F7M
In the morning when I wake up and listen to the sound
        C                   F7M   G
Of the birds outside on the roof
   C                     F7M
I try to ignore what the paper says
       C                      F7M   G
And I try not to read all the news
          C                    F7M
And I'll hold you if you had a bad dream
       C                   F7M   G
And I hope it never comes true
       C                               F7M
'Cause you and I been through so many things together
        C                        F7M    G
And the sun starts climbing the roof

[Refrão]

        C
It's a dream
        G
Only a dream
         F7M          G
And it's fading now
        C
Fading away
             G
It's only a dream
       F7M                G        C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay

        C                             F7M
The Red River stills flows through my home town
C                           F7M   G
Rollin' and tumblin' on its way
 C                             F7M
Swirling around the old bridge pylons
        C                       F7M   G
Where a boy fishes the morning away
    C                   F7M
His bicycle leans on an oak tree
           C                 F7M   G
While the cars cross by overhead
    C                             F7M
An aeroplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky
         C                         F7M   G
And the young birds call out to be fed

It's a dream
        G
Only a dream
         F7M          G
And it's fading now
        C
Fading away
             G
It's only a dream
       F7M                G        C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay

    C                         F7M
An old man walks along on the sidewalk
C                             F7M   G
Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
 
     C                              F7M
The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away

       C                          F7M    G
As he stops with the policeman to chat
       C                     F7M
And a train rolls out of the station
          C                      F7M   G
That was really somethin' in its day
C                        F7M
Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails
       C                      F7M   G
As it carries the passengers away

[Refrão]

          C
And it's gone
        G
Only a dream
         F7M         G
And it's fading now
        C
Fading away
        G
Only a dream
       F7M                G        C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay

It's a dream
        G
Only a dream
         F7M          G
And it's fading now
        C
Fading away
             G
It's only a dream
       F7M                G        C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
