Call Me Up In Dreamland chords by Van Morrison

Chords with lyrics

E7E7
Well, I tried, and I tried,
    A augmentedA
But the river seems so wide.
    A augmentedA
And my head hurts and my hands are tied.

     E7E7
And it's so... hard,
      A augmentedA
When you're standing on the yard,
   A augmentedA
Every time that your number comes a-round.

Chorus 1:

       D MajorD
Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.
        E7E7
Get the message to me, anyway you can.
           D MajorD
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,
       A augmentedA
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

Verse 2:

     E7E7
From the airport, to the plane,
 A augmentedA
A-way to the railroad trains.
       E7E7
Why can't we take it from the top,
       A augmentedA
And start all over again?

       E7E7
Everytime you hear that whistle blow,
  A augmentedA
You know you gotta put on your show;
   A augmentedA
Every time your number comes a-round.

Chorus 2:

       D MajorD
Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.
        E7E7
Get the message to me, anyway you can.
           D MajorD
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,
       A augmentedA
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

Sax Solo:

A augmentedA (x2)

Verse 4:

     E7E7
From the car, to the bar;
  A augmentedA
Or why don't you pour it in a jar?
     D MajorD
An put a label on it,
  A augmentedA
And send it off to the lost and found.

       E7E7
You've gotta get it in your brain,
    A augmentedA
But be-fore you go in-sane;
   A augmentedA
Every time your number comes a-round. (Here it comes);

Chorus 3:

       D MajorD
Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.
        E7E7
Get the message to me, anyway you can.
           D MajorD
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,
       A augmentedA
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

Never to grow old... on the saxo-pho...ne.
(Lord have mercy!)
