[C]
When I [Em] was a boy I [Am] had a dream
[C] [F] All about [Am] the things I'd [Dm] like to be
[F] [G] Soon as I was in my bed
[F] Music [G] played inside [Em] my head
When [G] I was a boy I [C] had a dream
When I [Em] was a boy I learned [Am] to play
[C] [F] Far into [Am] the night and [Dm] drift away
[F] [G] Don't wanna work on the milk or the [F] bread
Just wanna play [G] my guitar instead

And [Em] radio [Am]

When I was [Em] a boy I had [Am] a dream
