Gordon Lightfoot - Broken Dreams Chords

CAPO: 6th Fret




[INTRO:] C         Bb  F  C

[VERSE 1:]

There's an ocean in my mind 
    E                 Am
I'd give the world if I could find 
  Bb               F                Dm    Bb  F  C
A sailing ship and leave the past behind

Now that I must say adieu 
     E               Am
It's killing me, I'm telling you 
     Bb                 F            Dm   Bb  F  C
When freedom calls what can a person do 


[CHORUS:]

I have felt the winds of change 
   Bb                  F/C
Go stealing through my heart and soul
    C              Bb
How wild it seems
   F/C               G
In love songs and in nursery rhymes 
   F/C               Bb
On movie screens, in fairy tales 
    C              Bb
Lie broken dreams 
       C              Bb
Life's broken dreams
       C              Bb  F
Love's broken dreams


[VERSE 2:]

Sometimes a broken dream 
     E               Am
Will make you sad or make you mean 
    Bb                    F                 Dm    Bb  F  C
Sometimes things ain't as bad as they might seem 

You might walk a lonely street 
  E               Am
Until one day you chance to meet 
  Bb                 F                  Dm   Bb  F  C
A stranger who might ask where have you been


[CHORUS:]

You will see the light of change 
     Bb                   F/C
Come shining through your windowpane 
     C              Bb
When hope is gone 
       F/C              G
Though money, fame, and riches are 
    F/C                Bb            C
For fools and kings or anything that turns them on 
                     Bb
Life's broken deals
       C              Bb  F
Life's spinning wheels


[INSTRUMENTAL:]


[VERSE 3:]
C
There's an ocean I have found 
    E                Am
I'd like to sail the world around 
    Bb              F                Dm    Bb  F  C
And dream about the life I hope I'll find 

Now that I must say adieu 
   E                   Am
To love's returns, I'm telling you 
     Bb                 F            Dm   Bb  F  C
When freedom comes what can a person do


[CHORUS:]

I have felt the winds of change 
   Bb                  F/C
Go stealing through my heart and soul 
    C              Bb
How wild they seem 
   F/C               G
In sounds of spring, in winter storms 
   F/C              Bb
In autumn gales, on summer morns lie broken dreams 
   C                 Bb
In love songs and in nursery rhymes 
   C                 Bb     C    
On movie screens, in fairy tales 
                     Bb
Lie broken dreams
       C              Bb  F
Life's broken dreams
       C              Bb  F  C
Love's broken dreams
