So he wakes up under this lonely bridge his home

He dreams to sleep in a house
           F                   C
Where his wife covers him with love

He dreams to sit at a rich table where the waitress brings him some wine
           G                         F              C
He lights up a cigar and covers his eyes from the sunshine

So he goes to the place where all the artists meet
                                F              C
The musicians are singing and dancing in the street
     Am                     G
He dreams to stand in the spotlight
          F          C
And everybody loves him
            G                   F           C
He sings songs of an old poor man having a dream
