Dream

C           Dm                F                    G7
While riding on a train goin' west, I fell asleep for to take some rest.
C                      F       C
I dreamed a dream that made me sad,
   Am        Dm           G7                  C
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.

     C                Dm
With half damp eyes I stared into the room,
                 F                   G7
        Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon.
      C                     F      C
Where we together weathered many a storm,
Am           Dm               G7                 C
Laughin' and singin' 'til the early hours of the morn.

       C                          Dm
By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung,
            F                       G7
        Our words were told and our songs were sung.
         C                           F          C
Where we longed for nothing and were quite satisfied
Am          Dm               G7              C
Talkin' and jokin' about the wicked world outside.

     C                          Dm
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold

        F                         G7
        we never thought we could get very old.
   C                       F       C
We thought we could sit forever in fun,
        Am      Dm            G7         C
But our chances really were a million to one.

   C                   Dm
As easy it was to tell black from white,
            F                     G7
        it was all that easy to tell wrong from right.
    C                        F             C
Our choices were few and the thought never hit
         Am          Dm              G7               C
That the one road we travelled would ever shatter and split.

    C               Dm                  F                      G7
How many a year has passed and gone and many a gamble has been lost and won
    C                    F      C
And many a road taken by many a friend,
Am       Dm               G7         C
And each one of them I'll never see again.

  C               Dm
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
          F                           G7
        that we could sit simply in that room once again,
    C                       F         C
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,
    Am          Dm            G7                  C
I'd give it all gladly
