Tuning: D, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm a dreamer
by nature
And I've alway
s been tryin'
To dream mysel
f out of this
world that I'm
in
In my dreams I
escape all th
e troubles aro
und
And it hasn't
cost a penny
For the pleasu
res I've found
[Chorus]
What is the pa
rt
That I'll play
today
Beggar, a bus'
ness man, king
for a day?
I've played ma
ny parts
And I'm the fi
rst to agree
That I'm still
lookin' round
for the man t
hat is me
[Verse 2]
I'm a dreamer
by nature
And I've alway
s been
Looking for so
mething not th
ere
My financial p
osition
Don't bother m
y dreams
'Cause in fair
y tale money
I'm my own mil
lionaire
[Chorus]
What is the pa
rt
That I'll play
today
Beggar, a bus'
ness man, king
for a day?
I've played ma
ny parts
And I'm the fi
rst to agree
That I'm still
lookin' round
for the man t
hat is me
[Verse 3]
I'm a rich man
in dreams
But in real li
fe I've hid
From the fact
that I've got
me a wife and
a kid
If I lose what
I've got
Then they lose
it too
Tell me what i
n this world's
a poor dreame
r to do
[Chorus]
What is the pa
rt
That I'll play
today
Beggar, a bus'
ness man, king
for a day?
I've played ma
ny parts
And I'm the fi
rst to agree
That I'm still
lookin' round
for the man t
hat is me
