All [A]
right, today we're checking out the Monkees.
We're listening to the song Daydream Believer.
[G] Let's get into it.
[D] [G]
Oh, I could hide beneath [A] the wing of [Bm] a bluebird as she [C] sings.
[G] The six o'clock [Em] alarm would never [A]
ring.
[D] But [G] it rings and [A] I run, [Am] wipe [Bm] the sleep out of [G] my eyes.
My shaven [Em] [Am] razor's cold [D] and [G] it sings.
[Am] [Gbm] [C]
[D] She'll [Bm] sleep it in.
[C]
[D] What can it [Em] mean [C] to [G]
a daydream [C] believer and [G] a [Em] [A] homecoming queen?
[Gbm] [D]
[G] You once thought of [Am]
me as a [Bm] white knight [C] on his steed.
[G] Now you know how happy I can [A] [Em] be.
[Bm]
Oh, and [G] our good time starts and [Am]
ends without [Bm] our love [C] once more.
But [G] how much, [Em] baby, [Am] do I [D] really [G] need?
[G] I
[Am]
love the 60s dance moves.
I feel like I'm just like, I don't know.
I feel like I'm watching something that's just a whole different, like, like a whole,
I mean a whole different world.
I mean, you're watching history.
It's just so, it's like when I watch 80s, I don't feel that way.
Even though I know.
Really?
You don't?
I mean, I feel like, yeah, it's a [Eb] different era.
You know what I'm saying?
But it's like this, [Bb] I can't relate at all.
You know what I mean?
[E] It's like if you took a person from [A] this video and you [Ebm] plopped them in society today, like
they would stand out so much.
Yeah, that would be wild.
It's just like, whoa.
And the sound is just so different.
The [Am] dances.
[D] [G]
[Am] [Gbm] [C]
[D] [Bm] [C]

[C] [D] [Bm]
[C] [D] What can [Em] it mean [C] to [G] a [C] daydream believer and [G] [Em] a [A] homecoming queen?
[D] [A]
Whoa.
Whoa.
So you think he made that song to cheer up his friend?
That was the inspiration for the song?
Or maybe girlfriend or something?
[Gb] Cheer up sleepy Jean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen.
What can it mean [A] to a daydream believer?
I don't understand.
I don't know.
So a girl named Jean was a homecoming queen and she's a daydream believer.
So maybe that's like 60 slang for a dreamer.
You know what I mean?
She's got lofty dreams.
She's a dreamer.
Okay.
She believes in her dreams.
She's going for it.
Maybe something like that.
And that was [E] possibly his girlfriend or maybe just a friend.
Oh, like he's cheering her up and he's like talking about her lovingly?
[Ab] [Abm] Yeah, maybe.
I'm not really sure what he was saying.
I couldn't make out all the words.
[B] But he's, you know, [Ebm] being goofy, dancing, goofing off with his friend.
You know, cheer up Jean.
Like maybe he's [Ab] her friend and he's just goofing off to try to help her cheer up.
He made a whole song about it.
Whoa. Whoa.
I have so many questions.
And like in the [A] 60s, I'm just like wondering, was this band more [A] like a one direction of
the times, you know, or was it more like a, I don't know, Limp Bizkit of the times?
You know what I mean?
Like how, you know what I mean?
Or like a Korn of the [E] times.
I can't see Limp Bizkit or [A] Korn here.
You know, but it's like they're being goofy.
I'm basically like, were they like more like heartthrob types or were they like the goofy
sort of, you know, misfit band?
Like what?
Like, I don't know.
I'm like mind blown because I don't have like reference points [B] for this.
I mean, Limp Bizkit and Korn definitely don't seem like [G] friend zone guys.
And [Abm] this is definitely friend zone behavior.
Friend [A] zone.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's what I think is a friend, not a girlfriend.
Oh, okay.
Or like brothers even.
Like the Bee Gees were like brothers.
But apparently my mom said they were.
This brother wouldn't be the homecoming queen.
My mom said they were like [E] heartthrobs of the era.
I don't know.
I'm just trying to like wrap my mind around it.
Wait, your mom knows the Monkees?
No.
The Bee Gees.
Oh, [A] okay.
She said the Bee Gees were like heartthrobs of the era, but they were [Ab] brothers.
So I'm like, are these brothers that are like heartthrobs?
I'm just like, whoa.
[A] Okay.
I think we're talking about two different things.
Everything.
I'm talking about everything.
Oh, okay.
I'm saying like, I just don't have like reference points.
I'm like, this is brand new information.
I don't know where to put it.
