Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

♫ Chorus:

D             C
When I have a problem
  G                 D
I know just what to do
D               C
I go to bed and dream a while
G              D
Something will come through


♫ Verse 1:

D               C
The sky is ever darkening
G                 D
My bones begin to shake
D                       C
The streets of town are emptying
G                   D
There’s no one left awake
D                       C
Concern, concern that’s all there is
G                  D
The tambour of the day
D                   C
But when I close my eyes I find
G                D
There is another way


♫ Chorus:

D             C
When I have a problem
  G                 D
I know just what to do
D               C
I go to bed and dream a while
G              D
Something will come through


♫ Verse 2:

D                  C
The way to roll is blatant
G                     D
The air to breathe is clear
D               C
My worry bag is vacant
G                D
My cookie jar is here
D              C
My lady has my back she sings
G                 D
That everything’s alright
D                  C
So we lay down and sleep and dream
G                  D
And spoon each other tight


♫ Chorus:

D             C
When I have a problem
G                   D
I know just what to do
D               C
I go to bed and dream a while
G                   D
Something will come through


♫ Verse 3:

D                  C
The sun is beating harder
G                   D
The drum is playing loud
D                     C
My father won’t take action cos
G               D
My father he is proud
D                   C
My mother moans and locks herself
G                D
Into her private room
D                    C
My brothers cry but I won't buy
G                   D
I'm not bothered by blue


♫ Bridge:

D                       C
When weighted down with wondering
G                    D
The who, the why, the how
D                     C
Dreamland is where it all began
G                    D
And where we heading now


♫ Chorus:

D             C
When I have a problem
G                   D
I know just what to do
D               C
I go to bed and dream a while
G                   D
Something will come through
D               C
I go to bed and dream a while
G                   D
Something will come through
