Subject: TAB: House of Dreams (Blue Rodeo)

Here's one Blue Rodeo tune that I have been playing for a while. I haven't
seen it posted here or in the Nevada archive. It is a vintage Jim Cuddy love
ballad. I hope everything is clear (I'm a virgin poster).

NOTE:
When playing the EsusEsus in the intro and throughout, hammer the A augmentedA note (on the G+G
string). I tried to indicate that with an "h" in the Intro TAB. Just email
me if anyone needs help deciphering.

F# minorF#m
Can't stand the sight of myself
                    E MajorE    EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
Lying in bed all day with the curtains drawn  (as in intro)
F# minorF#m
Staring at the clock on the window ledge
                    E MajorE   EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
The angry words you said come back so strong


   BRIDGE 1:
        AbmAbm     A augmentedA               A augmentedA AbmAbm
   Sometimes love quits, Oh, when the pieces don't fit
   F# minorF#m                   E MajorE
   And suddenly all your world falls to the floor
          AbmAbm    A augmentedA        A augmentedA AbmAbm
   Then all your wild days all fall away
   F# minorF#m        AbmAbm      A augmentedA   BB
   You can't see much point in them anymore


   CHORUS:
        E MajorE    BB
   In this house of dreams
        DbmDbm        A augmentedA
   I let you walk like a ghost unseen
   A augmentedA  AbmAbm  F# minorF#m
   Girl on the day you left
   BB     A augmentedA    E MajorE   EsusEsus E MajorE EsusEsus E MajorE
   Out walked my everything ...

I must have thought you'd always be here
I never even noticed when the changes came one day
Seems one minute you were standing close
I turned around again and girl you were far away


   BRIDGE 2:

   And every plan we made, I just let them fade
   And pile up on the floor beside the bed
   Now you're gone away but your memory stays
   I sit here thinking of the things I never said


CHORUS


INSTRUMENTAL (play chords from the verse)


   BRIDGE 3:

   Sometimes love quits when the pieces don't fit
   And suddenly all your world falls to the floor
   Now you're gone away, but your memory stays
   I hear your voice behind every single door


CHORUS

   E MajorE      E7E7   A augmentedA   A minorAm   E MajorE
   ... everything ...
