While riding on a train goin' west, I fell asleep for to take some rest.
C
F
C
I dreamed a dream that made me sad,
Am
Dm
G7
C
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.
C
Dm
With half damp eyes I stared into the room,
F
G7
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon.
C
F
C
Where we together weathered many a storm,
Am
Dm
G7
C
Laughin' and singin' 'til the early hours of the morn.
C
Dm
By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung,
F
G7
Our words were told and our songs were sung.
C
F
C
Where we longed for nothing and were quite satisfied
Am
Dm
G7
C
Talkin' and jokin' about the wicked world outside.
C
Dm
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
F
G7
we never thought we could get very old.
C
F
C
We thought we could sit forever in fun,
Am
Dm
G7
C
But our chances really were a million to one.
C
Dm
As easy it was to tell black from white,
F
G7
it was all that easy to tell wrong from right.
C
F
C
Our choices were few and the thought never hit
Am
Dm
G7
C
That the one road we travelled would ever shatter and split.
C
Dm
F
G7
How many a year has passed and gone and many a gamble has been lost and won
C
F
C
And many a road taken by many a friend,
Am
Dm
G7
C
And each one of them I'll never see again.
C
Dm
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
F
G7
that we could sit simply in that room once again,
C
F
C
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,
Am
Dm
G7
C
I'd give it all gladly
