#9 Dream - John Lennon

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
John Lennon
#9 Dream (1974)
(Lennon)
From: "Walls and Bridges" and numerous Greatest Hits collections
One of Lennon's sweetest tunes. Large parts of the composition and the production
sound very much like Harrison - from the slide guitar intro to the chord pattern
in the chorus and outro recalling "My Sweet Lord".

INTRO | C | Em | F | E | F | D(7) | F | G(7) |
[C]So-[Em]oh long [F]ago[E]
Was it in a [F]dream,[D(7)] [F] was it just[G] a dream?
I-hi [C]know-[Em]oh, yes I [F]know[E]

Through the heat whispered [G]trees
I thought I could [Em(7)]hear, [A] [Em(7)]hear, [A] [Em(7)]hear, [A] [Em(7)]hear)[A]
[Em(7)] Somebody call out my [A]name [Em(7)] as it started to[A] rain

Magic in the [F]air, [D(7)] [F] was magic i[G]n the air?
I be[C]li[Em]eve, yes I be[F]lieve[E]
More I cannot [F]say, [D(7)] [F] what more [G]can I say?
On a river of [G]sound
Through the mirror go [G]round, round
I thought I could [Em(7)]feel, [A] [Em(7)]feel, [A] [Em(7)]feel, [A] [Em(7)]feel[A]
[Em(7)] Music touching my [A]soul, [Em(7)] something warm, sudden [A]cold
[Em(7)]The spirit dance was un[A]folding
