Dreamland chords by Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot - Dreamland


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] C   Em   C7   F   C   G   F G  C

[VERSE 1:]

                  Em
You come to me in times of need
         C7            F
When you can't find anyone
    C               G
You seem to be much better off now
          F              G
There's a rainbow number one

[VERSE 2:]
         C                    Em
We could see life through the gutter then
        C7                 F
Till it caused my heart to break
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland
    F        G       C
And too much love to take


[VERSE 3:]
              Em
Sometimes I remember when
        C7                F
We were all dressed up in style
  C                G
I don't recall the gist of it all
        F                   G
But you drove the young men wild


[VERSE 4:]
          C                   Em
You could wrap me around your finger
       C7                 F
Til it caused my heart to break
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland
    F        G       C
And too much love to take


[CHORUS:]
                   Em
So, if you need me near you
        C7           F
You can do it if you choose
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland
    F        G       C
And too much love to lose


[INSTRUMENTAL:] C   Em   C7   F   C   G   F G  C


[VERSE 5:]
                        Em
You make me do what you want me to do
         C7               F
Then you run the rules on me
    C              G
You seem to be the wiser now
         F                G
Could it be you've been deceived


[VERSE 6:]
   C                  Em
Anytime you felt like trying
          C7                F
You would cause my heart to break
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland
    F        G       C
And too much love at stake


[CHORUS:]
                   Em
So, if you need me near you now
        C7           F
You can do it if you choose
          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland
    F        G       C
And too much love to lose
