I
Had A Dream (zack26)
(Thanks to Matthew L for lyrics)
The
timing of the A7…D7.. section varies from verse to verse but the
chords are the same. I’ve included several chord options –
I know some people have trouble barring (including the man himself!)
so there are some easier alternatives. Mix and match…
Chord
suggestions:
Bbmaj7 X-1-3-2-3-1
(bar 1st)
6-8-7-7-6-X (either bar at 6th or grab the low string with
thumb)
X-8-7-7-6-X (a
little easier)
X-X-3-2-3-1 (easier, no barring, but also no bass
note)
Abmaj7 4-6-5-5-4-X
(either bar at the 4th or grab the low string
with thumb)
X-6-5-5-4-X (a
little easier)
X-X-1-0-1-X (really easy, just make sure you only play
those 3
strings!)
A7
5-7-5-6-5-5 (bar 5th) or X-0-2-0-2-0
D7
X-5-7-5-7-5 (bar 5th) or
X-X-0-2-1-2

I had a dream
about you
You were the queen of quite a few
And I was there,
but you didn’t care
I didn’t matter somehow.
The
band played and you sang a tune
And the stars fell down from the
moon
And you smiled a smile that parted the sea
But you didn’t
notice me…no.
Your eyes filled up the sky and they were blue
And
you had a weird monkey there with you too
And you danced a jig and
tipped his hat
And you turned around with a grin so fat
And he
was me.
(in the next verse the A7-D7-G7-C7
progression repeats before going to Abmaj7)
There were
lights and cameras and fireworks going off in your honor
And I was
worried,
But a man said “Don’t worry, nothing can harm
her”
And I grabbed the microphone and I stood all alone
And I
looked up at you, and you looked down on me
And then you said “Off
with his head”.
I had a dream about you
