Dream on

(intro)

(riff 1)
Every time that I look in the mirror, all these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone, it went by like dust to dawn.
(riff 2)
Isn't that the way, everybody's got their dues to pay?
(riff 3)
I know nobody knows where it comes and where it goes
I know, it's everybody's sin, you got to lose to know how to win.

(riff 2)(play only 1 time)(fill 1)

(riff 4)
  
(riff 1)
Half my life's in books' written pages, lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true, all these things, come back to you

(riff 3)(the second time also fill 2)
Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter 'n sing for the tears
Sing with me if it's just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

(riff 5)

(solo)

(riff 3)(second time also fill 2)
Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter 'n sing for the tears
Sing with me if it's just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

(riff 5)(+ fill 3)

(riff 6)
Dream on, dream on, dream on and dream yourself a dream come true(fill 4)
Dream on, dream on, dream on and dream until your dream comes true(fill 5)

(riff 7)(play 2 times)
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, ah

(riff 5)
Ah

(riff 3)
Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter 'n sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

(riff 3)(the second time also fill 2)
Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter 'n sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Big ten-inch record

   D7                          
   Got me the strangest woman   
   A7
   Believe me this chick's no cinch 
   D7
   But I really get her goin'
   E7
   When I get out my big ten-inch
                D7 
   record of a band that plays the blues
             A7
   well a band that plays the blues
     Bm7           E7
   She just loves my big ten-inch
                               A
   record of her favorite blues

        This is what I came up with for the solo. It seems pretty accurate
but I'm still a bit cautious because it's the first time that I figured out
a somewhat difficult solo. This is the solo on the album, by the way. I'm
aware that their live versions(Unplugged,etc.)are a bit different in that
they contain solos by Joe, Brad and Tom Ghimbel(saxophone)but this is the
Toys in the Attic version and therefore, this is the only guitar solo.
You'll have to work out the timing on your own because all I did was put two
spaces in between notes. Anyway, here it is:

The chord progression for the rest of the song is the same. The rest of the
lyrics go like this:

   Last night I tried to tease her
   I gave my love a little pinch
   But she said "Now stop that jivin'
   now whip out your big ten-inch

   (chorus)

   I'll cover her with kisses
   and when we're in a lover's clinch
   she gets all excited 
   but then she puts on my big ten-inch

   (chorus)

   My gal don't go for smokin'
   and liquor just makes her flinch
   Seems she don't go for nothin'
   'cept for my big ten-inch

   (chorus)

   Double stops are very important during the verses and the 
       solo.  Use double stops during the solo.  It makes
       the song sound more complete.

Riff 2:  Same as Riff 1 but faster and less blues.  also the into the 
same but loose the ending of it.  the interlude 2 is the same but with 
out the 1st fast run.
 
Riff 1
Well, on a train, I met a dame,
She rather handsome, but kind of looked the same.
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so
 
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!", and a "ho!"
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no... (lead)
 
Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
 
(Interlude 1, and solo)
 
Drum role, lead, fast guitar.

Well, we made a stop in Albequerque
She must'a thought I was a real cool jerk

But I just couldn't tell her so
 
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long  (lead)

   gtr.2 plays what sounds like these two notes during the interlude:

   E--3---------10-------------------|
   B--3---------10-------------------|
   G--0----------0-------------------|
   D---------------------------------|
   A---------------------------------|
   E---------------------------------|


This is how I play the variation at the end (Brad plays it a little
differently on "Unplugged"):      
                                                   ...dog
