River Of Dreams Chords

(ver. 1)
Billy Joel
[Intro]:
G           Cmaj7         D6
    Ohhhhhhh. Ahhhhhh-ah-aahhhh-ahh
G
in the middle of the ... I go walkin' in the
                                      G7
in the middle of the ... I go walkin' in the
C                             Cmaj7
in the middle of the ... I go walkin' in the
D
in the middle of the ... -



[Verse]:
D                    G
In the middle of the night
 
I go walking in my sleep
         G7           C
From the mountains of faith
     Cmaj7    D
To a river so deep
                      G
I must be looking for something
             Am7/G G
Something sacred I lost
        G7       C
But the river is wide
         Cmaj7       D
And it's too hard to cross



[Pre-Chorus]:
Em                     D6
Even though I know the river is wide
       Cmaj7                    Bm7
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
Cmaj7                   Bm 
  I try to cross to the opposite side
         A                               D       D6 DmM7
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for



[Chorus]:
D7 -                  G
 In the middle of the night
     
I go walking in my sleep
            G7        C
Through the valley of fear
     Cmaj7    D
To a river so deep
                  C         G
And I've been searching for something
        Am7/G   G
Taken out of my soul
          G7            C
Something I would never lose
          Cmaj7    D
Something somebody stole



[Pre-Chorus]:
Em                      D6
  I don't know why I go walking at night
            Cmaj7                     Bm7
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
Cmaj7                        Bm
  I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
        A                              D       D6 DmM7
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for



[Chorus]:
D7 -                           G
          In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
            G7        C
Through the jungle of doubt
              D
To a river so deep
                         G                        Am7/G G
I know I'm searching for something (Searching for some- thing)
                               Am7/G G
Something so undefined (So Un-defi-  ned)
            G7      C
That it can only be seen
       Cmaj7       D
By the eyes of the blind
                     G ->
In the middle of the night

{Pre-Chorus]:
Em                     D6
  I'm not sure about a life after this
     Cmaj7                    Bm7
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Cmaj7             Bm                    A
  Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
                 D        D6 DmM7
That runs to the promised land



[Chorus]:
D7 -                                            G
                           In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
            G7        C         
Through the desert of truth
                D           
To the river so deep
           D7     G                 Am7/G  G  
We all end in the ocean (end in the o-     cean)
                                    Am7/G  G
We all start in the streams (start  in  the streams)
            G7    C
We're all carried along
Cmaj7           D
By the river of dreams
                     G
In the middle of the night




[Outro]: (Can add extensions if desired)
