[Verse 1]
G             Em             G                       Em
  On a dark December morning when the sun refused to shine,
G               Em               G             Em
  spent another sleepless night,   got so much on my mind.
C                 Am
  Think I finally know what's wrong,
C                    Am                 G    Em     G     Em
  I think I've gotta leave this place behind.

[Verse 2]
G                  Em         G            Em
  So, I said "wake up, Linda,   I've had a dream,
G                     Em            G                Em
  I dreamed we moved away from here   to a place I'd never seen,
C                       Am
  where the nights were long and cold
C         Am                G    Em     G     Em
  and the air was fresh and clean."

[Chorus]
C                            G
  And there we were standing underneath the western sky,
C                                   G
  beside a home we built ourselves,   way up in the mountains high.
Am                               Em              Dsus4           D7
  And we lived happy there, just you and I, on a river of dreams.

[Verse 3]
G                    Em        G                   Em
  There's no need to worry now   'cause I've got a plan;
G                    Em            G           Em
  we don't need this modern world,   I'm not a modern man.
C                 Am                       C
  We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets;
            Am              G    Em     G     Em
we're gonna get back on the land.

[Verse 4]
G                        Em                G                Em
  There's a whole lot of people out there,   feel just like you and me.
G                     Em                       G              Em
  They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks and say goodbye to all their misery.
C                  Am             C
  What'd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey,
    Am                  G        Em     G     Em
and chase the sun until we're free.

[Chorus]
C                         G
  And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings,
C                         G
  we'd fly away and never worry about a thing.
Am                               Em
  We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring
     Dsus4            D7
on a river of dreams,   on [Interlude] a river of dreams.

[Verse 5]
G                       Em          G                 Em
  So, get your things together, now   I'll be getting mine,
G                      Em             G                  Em
  I've finally got the feeling, girl,   the sun is gonna shine.
C                       Am
  You know people don't run out of dreams,
C        Am              G    Em     G     Em
  people just run out of time.

[Chorus]
C                                       G
  Let's find that place out there, underneath the western sky,
C                              G
  we'll build a home ourselves way up in the mountains high.
Am                       Em
  We'll live happy there   'til the day we die
     Dsus4            D7
on a river of dreams.

[Chorus]
C                                 G
  And we'll have stars to wish on   every single night,
C                             G
  we'll build a fire and make love by candlelight.
Am                       Em
  We'll do our moondance   'til we get it right
     Dsus4            D7
on a river of dreams,   on a [Interlude] river of dreams

[Outro]
G Em             G               Em
    I can see us standing by the river,
G Em        G                Em
    holding hands beside the river.
