The Dreamin chords by Tom Russell

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
    Am            F       C                         G
Oh, whiskey's the life of man, but whiskey's mostly water
         Am                F      C                     G         F
And it's whiskey fuels the worker and corrupts his only daughter
                   C            F                   C        F
The mountain water in the still, the copper pipes a-steamin'
                         Em               Dm               G
There'll soon be whiskey in the glass and dreamers gone to dreamin'

Chorus:
             F                  Em
Oh, it's the dreamin', it's the dreamin'
  F                       Dm                   G
A young girl's prayer, an old man's thoughts a-reelin'
           F             G         Am
Two lovers stealin', the moonlight beamin'
             Dm       G         C
Oh, it's the dreamin', it's the dreamin'

Verse:
      Am              F      C                         G
Oh, I met her down in Dublin town, like a bottle fly I fell
       Am            F         C                  G      F
To the spider in the Blackbush of the old railway hotel
                   C                      F                 C
I spun my web from Liffey's walls, to the back room down at Whelan's
     F                Em             Dm              G
But, oh, how sweet my poison, now is drowning in the dreamin'

Chorus:
             F                  Em
Oh, it's the dreamin', it's the dreamin'
  F                       Dm                   G
A young girl's prayer, an old man's thoughts a-reelin'
           F             G         Am
Two lovers stealin', the moonlight beamin'
             Dm       G         C
Oh, it's the dreamin', it's the dreamin'

Instrumental:
F    Am    Dm  G  C

Verse:
    Am                F      C                     G
Oh, whiskey's made of water, lads, barley, corn or malt
    Am              F      C                     G     F
And man and woman's water, mixed with poetry and salt
                     C                 F               C
Bring on the pullin' of the tides, the flash of eyes a-gleamin'
     F                  Em            Dm               G
When passion blends the elements, the yeast is but the dreamin'

Chorus:
             F                  Em
Oh, it's the dreamin', it's the dreamin'
  F                       Dm                   G
A young girl's prayer, an old man's thoughts a-reelin'
           F             G         Am
Two lovers stealin', the moonlight beamin'
               Dm      G                  C
The search for meaning, leads through the dreamin'
    Am            F       C
Oh, whiskey's the life of man
