Verse 1
   G+G        E minorEm       C majorC        D MajorD
I caught a ride on the dreamland express last night
   G+G         E minorEm     C majorC      D MajorD
I was sailing on an ocean of blue,
 G+G         E minorEm          C majorC     D MajorD            G+G   E minorEm    C majorC
When right there by my side, much to my surprise; was you

Verse 2
G+G        E minorEm        C majorC         D MajorD
I said, "Come over here, baby, let me look in your eyes
G+G         E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD
Let me see the very heart of you."
G+G         E minorEm        C majorC          D MajorD      G+G    E minorEm   C majorC
And I couldn't believe it, to concede that my dream had come true

Verse 3

She said, "Hey there, sweet daddy, everything's all right
For miles there's not a telephone line
There's not a soul to disturb us, don't be nervous, just come and be mine"

Chorus:
D/F#D/F#             D MajorD   G+G
Let me be the end of your rainbow,
D/F#D/F#            D MajorD  G+G
Let me be the stars up above,
D/F#D/F#               D MajorD  G+G
Let me be the one that you long for darling,
C majorC          D MajorD          G+G       E minorEm
Let me be the one that you love   (woh oh)
C majorC          D MajorD         G+G
Let me be the one that you love

Verse 4

Well it's 4 in the morning, honey I can't sleep
I can't seem to get you out of my mind,
I keep tossing and turning, yearning for the sun to shine.

I'd like to send you a ticket on the dreamland express,
And take you far away with me,
I've got a vision of heaven, and you're living there with me.
