Key: E
Introduction:
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
Ab Ab/G
When hope was high
Fm7 Bb
And life worth living
Bb Eb/D Cm7 Eb
I dreamed that love would never die
Ab Ab/G Fm7 Bb
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb
Then I was young and unafraid
Ab Ab/G Fm7 Bb6
And dreams were made and used and wasted
Eb Cm7 Eb
There was no ransom to be paid
Ab Ab/G Fm7 Bb
No song unsung, no wine untasted
C C/E Fm
But the tigers come at night
C C7 F F/A
With their voices soft as thunder
Bb Bb/D Ebm
As they tear your hope apart
Bb Eb Fm Eb Ab Bb
And they turn your dream to shame
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb
He slept a summer by my side
Ab Ab/G Fm7 Bb6
He filled my days with endless wonder
Eb Eb/D Cm7 Eb
He took my childhood in his stride
Ab Bb6 Eb Bb/D Bbm6 C
But he was gone when autumn came
F F/E Dm7 F/C
And still I dream he'll come to me
Bb Bb/A Gm7 C
That we will live the years together
F F/E Dm7 F/C
But there are dreams that cannot be
Bb Bb/A Gm7 C F F/E
And there are storms we cannot weather
Dm7 F/C Bb Bb/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 F
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
