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
