(Intro)

A    Dsus2    A    Dsus2     A    Dsus2    A     Dsus2 




(Verse 1) 

         A     Dsus2           A       Dsus2 Let the river rock you like a cradle

 A            Dsus2                      A       Dsus2 Climb to the treetops, child, if you're able

          A            Dsus2          A       Dsus2 Let your hands tie a knot across the table.

 A        F#m                     Bm         Dsus2 Come and touch the things you cannot feel.

    A          Dsus2          A                 Dsus2  And close your fingertips and fly where I can't hold you

A        Dsus2             A                   Dsus2  Let the sun-rain fall and let the dewy clouds enfold you

A          Dsus2           A            Dsus2                A And maybe you can sing to me the words I just told you,

    F#m                Bm                   Dsus2 If all the things you feel ain't what they seem.

 A           Dsus2     A              Dsus2         A      Dsus2   A   Dsus2 And don't   mind me   'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.




(Verse 2) 

     A            Dsus2                A        Dsus2                 The mocking bird sings each different song

      A        Dsus2                   A       Dsus2 Each song has wings - they won't stay long.

 A            Dsus2           A             Dsus2  Do those who hear think he's doing wrong?

 A                     Dsus2              A        Dsus2 While the church bell tolls its one-note song

    A                   Dsus2           A        Dsus2 And the school bell is tinkling to the throng.

 A         F#m                    Bm       Dsus2  Come here where your ears cannot hear.

     A          Dsus2            A                   Dsus2 And close your eyes, child, and listen to what I'll tell you

A       Dsus2          A                           Dsus2 Follow in the darkest night the sounds that may impel you

A                  Dsus2            A                   Dsus2        A And the song that I am singing may disturb or serve to quell you

      F#m                   Bm              Dsus2 If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem,

      A      Dsus2      A              Dsus2      A        Dsus2   A   Dsus2 Then don't   mind me   'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream




(Verse 3) 

A           Dsus2               A        Dsus2 The rising smell of fresh-cut grass

    A             Dsus2               A            Dsus2  Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas

   A         Dsus2         A       Dsus2 I hold some grapes up to the sun

     A             Dsus2          A        Dsus2  And their flavour breaks upon my tongue.

     A     Dsus2       A                    Dsus2 With ea---ger tongues we taste our strife

  A           Dsus2      A             Dsus2  And fill our lungs with seas of life.

 A              F#m              Bm           Dsus2 Come taste and smell the waters of our time.

    A          Dsus2           A              Dsus2       A And close your lips, child, so softly I might kiss you,

          Dsus2          A                       Dsus2       A Let your flower perfume out and let the winds caress you.

      Dsus2                  A                       Dsus2       A As I walk on through the garden, I am hoping I don't miss you

       F#m                         Bm              Dsus2 If all the things you taste ain't what they seem,

 A          Dsus2      A             Dsus2     A           Dsus2   A   Dsus2 Then don't mind me   'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.




(Verse 4)

      Dsus2            A        Dsus2     AThe sun and moon both arise

          Dsus2                 A                Dsus2And we'll see them soon through days and nights

    A                 Dsus2                A        Dsus2But now silver leaves are mirrors, bring delights.

        A               Dsus2          A         Dsus2And the colours of your eyes are fiery bright,

      A            Dsus2             A                Dsus2         While darkness blinds the skies with all its light.

A           F#m             Bm        Dsus2Come see where your eyes cannot see.

    A          Dsus2            A                 Dsus2        AAnd close your eyes, child, and look at what I'll show you;

         Dsus2               A                     Dsus2      ALet your mind go reeling out   and let the breezes blow you,

          Dsus2             A                 Dsus2       AAnd maybe when we meet then   suddenly I will know you.

     F#m                    Bm                  Dsus2 If all   the things you see ain't what they seem,

     A       Dsus2      A              Dsus2   A             Dsus2 Then   don't mind me    'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.
