Roger McGuinn Dreamland written by Joni Mitchell
C# B C# B C# B C# B C#
F# E Abm F#
It's a long long way to Canada it's a long way from snow chains
Abm F# C# B C# B C# B C#
Donkey vendors slicing coconut no parkas to their name
F# E Abm F#
Black babies covered in baking flour the cook's got a carnival song
Abm F# C# B C#
Lay down someplace shady with dreamland coming on
C# E Abm F# C# B C# B C# B C#
Dream on dreamland dreamland dreamland dream
F# E Abm F#
Walter Raleigh Chris Columbus come a marchin out of the waves
Abm F#
And they claim the beach and concessions in the name of the sun tan
C# B C# B C# B C#
slaves
F# E Abm F#
I wrapped their flag around me like an Errol Flynn sarong
Abm F# C# B C#
And I laid down thinking national with dreamland coming on
C# E Abm F# C# B C# B C# B C#
Dream on dreamland dreamland dreamland dream
F# E Abm F#
Goodtime Mary and the lady soldiers all dressed up to follow the
drums
Mary in a feather hulahoop misfortune
Abm F# C# B C# B C# B C#
With a rose on her big game gun
F# E Abm F#
All saints and sinners shinning heed those trumpets all night long
Abm F# C# B C#
Propped up on the samba beat with dreamland coming on
C# E Abm F# C# B C# B C# B C#
Dream on dreamland dreamland dreamland dream
F# E Abm F#
Tar baby and the great white wonder talking over a glass of rum
Abm F# C# B C# B C#
Burnin on the inside with a knowledge of things to come
F# E Abm F#
There's gambling on the terrace midnight rambling on the lawn
Abm F# C# B C#
As they lean towards temptation with dreamland coming on
C# E Abm F# C# B C# B C# B C#
Dream on dreamland dreamland dreamland dream
F# E Abm F#
In a plane flying back to winter with shoe full of tropic sand
There comes a lady draped in a foreign flag
Abm F# C# B C# B C# B C#
On the arms of her Marlboro man
F# E Abm F#
The hawks howls in New York City six foot drifts on Myrtle's lawn
Abm F# C# B C#
As they push the recliner buttons down with dreamland coming on
C# E Abm F# C# B C# B C# B C#
Dreamland dreamland dreamland dream
