The Dreamer Chords by Tom Rush

[Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The moon she [G] rides the tattered stone _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ on a [G] ragged gypsy journey.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ The snow [D] [Bm] lies on the mountain _ _ [F] like a cloak [A] upon _ a king. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ My [Em] dreams [A] go tumbling with the dust _ _ out _ _ _ _ _ across the valley. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Low [Em] above the river, _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Em] low above [D] the _ sea,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ and [B] life's a _ sparrow lost at [Bm] sea.
[A] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ In dark [Bm] of night with far to [A] go, _ [E] _ _
_ [C#m] dreams are ships that [Bm] _
_ sail [D] away. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We are only _ cargo, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ only cargo, _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] only cargo.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the sea has always sung to me, [B] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
but I have never, never heeded.
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
I am [B] born a farmer raised the same, [G] _ [F] _ _ _ married [G] to the [A] _ land. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ But sometimes I will lie at night _ _ _ while _ _ _ she is softly _ sleeping. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Far away I hear the song, _ _ [F] _
the [G] sea _ sings to [D] the _ sand. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ For life's a [Bm]
sparrow lost at sea.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ In dark of [Bm]
night with far to go, _ [E] _
_ _ [C#m] dreams are ships that [Bm] _ sail [D] away. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We are only _ cargo, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] only cargo,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [A] only _ cargo. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ Now Adam's [G] prize was open eyes, _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ his sentence [G] was to see.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ So day by [G] day he's worn away _ _ [A] against _ _ _ _ reality. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ So [Bm] gypsies [G] dream of being king, _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ kings of [G] being free.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ A sailor [G] longs to till the land, _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ a farmer sets to sea. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And the sea [G] will love the land all [A] night, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
like a [G] woman loves her lover.
_ [A]
The _ _ _ _ _ _ wind [Bm] will race along the beach _ _ [F] and _ [G] make the sea cliffs [A] rain. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I will start and wake _ and dream again. _ _ _
The dream [G] I dreamed [A] _ _
forever, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the ships I'll never [G] _
sail, _ _ _ [F] _ the [G] songs I'll never _ [D] sing. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ For life's a [Bm] _ sparrow lost at [E] sea. _ _ _
_ _ In [Bm] dark of night with _ far to go, [E] _ _ _
_ [C#m] dreams are ships [Bm] that _ sail [D] away. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The dreamer's only cargo, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] only cargo, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ only [D] _ cargo.
