Tuning: Standard

John Lennon
#9 Dream (1974)
(Lennon)

One of Lennon's sweetest tunes. Large parts of the composition and the production 
sound very much like Harrison - from the slide guitar intro to the chord pattern 
in the chorus and outro recalling "My Sweet Lord".

So-oh long ago

I-hi know-oh, yes I know
          F         D(7)   F              G
Seemed so very real,         it seemed so real to me 

                     G
Took a walk down the street
                           G
Through the heat whispered trees
                  Em(7) A  Em(7) A  Em(7) A   Em(7) A  
I thought I could hear,    hear,    hear,     hear)

  Somebody call out my name    as it started to rain 
Em(7)                   A  
   Two spirits dancing so strange

Magic in the air,          was magic in the air?

I believe, yes I believe
              F     D(7)  F            G
More I cannot say,           what more can I say? 

              G
On a river of sound
                      G
Through the mirror go round, round
                  Em(7) A  Em(7) A  Em(7) A   Em(7) A  
I thought I could feel,    feel,    feel,     feel
Em(7)              A     Em(7)                   A  
 Music touching my soul,  something warm, sudden cold

The spirit dance was unfolding
