Chords with lyrics

Name: Dreams

Artists: Allman Brothers

Transcribed by: Jason Yankee

Note: This is all my own work.

Note: This song is played in 3/4, 6/4 or 6/8 time.

Those time signatures are basically the same thing.

The bass lines goes like this:

D MajorD note, C majorC note, A augmentedA note.... over and over

Play the Bass line for the left hand on the keyboard

part.

Play these chords over the bass line:

C majorC 6 chord, D MajorD 7 chord

or

C majorC 6 chord, FF # diminished chord

The break in the song uses these chords:

G+G 7 chord, FF 7 chord, E MajorE 7 chord

repeat.

Note: For the E MajorE 7 chord you might want to play three

different inversions of it in a row (keyboard only).

The solo is played using the D MajorD major scale with a

b 5. Here is that scale: D, E, FF #, G, A, B, C, D MajorD

D0, LE0, LE2, LE3, LE5, LE7, LE8, A5, A7, D4, D5, D7,

G4, G5, G7, B5, B7, B8, HE5, HE7, HE8, HE10, HE12,

HE14, HE15, HE17, HE19, HE20, HE22

The solo stays within the scale. If you know the scale

then you can figure out the solo. The solo also

probably uses a slide.

The final break: (Play a D7D7 in the background)

Note: For the D7D7 chord in the final break you might

want to try to play 4 different inversions of it

(keyboard only).

FF # note, G+G note, F#F# note, E MajorE note, D MajorD note, E MajorE note,
