House Of Dreams Tabs

(ver. 2)
Blue Rodeo
Here's one Blue Rodeo tune that I have been playing for a while.  I haven't 
seen it posted here or in the Nevada archive.  It is a vintage Jim Cuddy love 
ballad.  I hope everything is clear (I'm a virgin poster).

NOTE:
When playing the Esus in the intro and throughout, hammer the A note (on the G 
string).  I tried to indicate that with an "h" in the Intro TAB.  Just email 
me if anyone needs help deciphering.

F#m
Can't stand the sight of  myself
                                       E       Esus E Esus E
Lying in bed all day with the curtains drawn   (as in intro)
F#m
Staring at the clock on the window ledge
                                       E      Esus E Esus E
The angry words you said come back so strong


      BRIDGE 1:
                Abm         A                              A  Abm
      Sometimes love quits, Oh, when the pieces don't fit
      F#m                                      E
      And suddenly all your world falls to the floor
                    Abm       A               A  Abm
      Then all your wild days all fall away
      F#m                Abm           A      B
      You can't see much point in them anymore


      CHORUS:
               E        B
      In this house of dreams
                Dbm                A
      I let you walk like a ghost unseen
      A    Abm    F#m
      Girl on the day you left
      B          A       E      Esus E Esus E
      Out walked my everything ...


I must have thought you'd always be here
I never even noticed when the changes came one day
Seems one minute you were standing close
I turned around again and girl you were far away


      BRIDGE 2:

      And every plan we made, I just let them fade
      And pile up on the floor beside the bed
      Now you're gone away but your memory stays
      I sit here thinking of the things I never said


CHORUS


INSTRUMENTAL (play chords from the verse)


      BRIDGE 3:

      Sometimes love quits when the pieces don't fit
      And suddenly all your world falls to the floor
      Now you're gone away, but your memory stays
      I hear your voice behind every single door


CHORUS

      E           E7      A      Am      E
      ... everything ...
