Tuning: D A D G A D

Tuning is in DADGad This version has six basic parts: riff 1, verse, riff 2, chorus, bridge and outro. The strumming pattern is different, so I won't try to model it. Chord names are likely inaccurate but close.

[Outro]

I ha^Dd a dream that I was waking At t^A/Dhe burning edge of dawn And ^GI could see the fields of glory I co^Auld hear the sower's song I ha^Dd a dream that I was waking At t^A/Dhe burning edge of dawn And ^Gall that rain had washed me clean All ^Athe sorrow was gone I ha^Dd a dream that I was waking At t^A/Dhe burning edge of dawn And I^B could finally believe The k^Aing had loved me all along I had^D a dream that I was waking At th^A/De burning edge of dawn I saw^G the sower in the silver mist And H^Ae was calling me h^Dome
