Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
Following is Dream On arranged in simplified form for just one guitar. If you want to
see each part broken out exactly like the record, go check the tab links. I wasn't
happy with any of the existing chord sheets though. For the following, capo up 3
to play with original (or transpose up 3 with buttons on the left). Or pick a key to
be friendly to your singer. See chord notes at the end.
[Intro]
(or just repeat first line with simpler bass)
[Verse]
Every time
I look in the
mirror, all th
ese lines on m
y face gettin'
clearer
The pa
st is gone,
it went by,
like dusk to
dawn
Isn't that
the way, ever
ybody's got th
eir dues in li
fe to pay?
I know, nobody
knows, where
it comes and w
here it goes
I know, it's e
verybody's sin
, you got to l
ose to know ho
w to win
[Bridge]
Half my life's
in books' wri
tten pages, li
/
ved and learne
d from fools a
nd from sages
You kn
ow its true,
-
all those
things, come
back to you
[Chorus]
Sing with me,
sing for the y
ears, sing for
laughter 'n'
sing for the t
ears
Sing with me,
if it's just f
or today
Maybe tomorrow
the good Lord
will take you
away
[Solo] ( ) x2
[Chorus]
Sing with me,
sing for the y
ears, sing for
laughter 'n'
sing for the t
ears
Sing with me,
if it's just f
or today
Maybe tomorrow
the good Lord
will take you
away
Dream on, dre
am on, dream o
n, dream yours
elf a dream co

[Chorus]

* notes on above:
- chord names are approximate (see below)
- yes you can do these chords if you use your pinky on the 7th
- alternate fingering Am-9 is close and easier to play
- for second part of intro, or skip the bass line and just redo above
- for some chords, it's easier if you use your thumb for bass note

The above chord names are simplified so they fit on the lyric lines. There
are no simple names for these and I'd recommend playing something like
the voicings above. Here are more complete names for the chord
abbreviations used above:
Dm6/A is really Asus2-11
Am-9 is really Am-9 (no 3rd, 5th or b7th)
Dm6/B is B7-5
Am-9/Bb is BbM7-5
