Hi there! This is my first tab on ultimate guitar,
so I hope it's right and it can be enjoyed.
Just a couple observations: I know this song was written by David Forman,
I personally don't like it and I've hearing the Up, Close and Alone version
my whole life. I think Burton Cummings did a great work with his cover,
that's why I'm placing this song here and so the lyrics of that version.
(it's always with the same chords, there is a change in the chorus but
it's in the timing)
Intro: D# A# G# Cm
1)
When I was a D#boy I dreamed of Phillip A#Marlowe
He took me as his G#partner took me as his Cmfriend
Gave me his feD#dora gave me shotgun fA#ever
Took me as his G#partner to the Cmend
1)
When I was a boy I dreamed I was a jeweler
With a family business that was free and clear
Selling golden earrings to Mrs. Mickey Mantle
Trying to be gentle while I stuck it in her ear
2) Chorus (these are the same, just start a bit earlier)
The dreD#am of a child, the sA#ong of a man
The G#key and the time are Cmat his command
The drD#eam of a child the sA#ong of a man
The G#key and the time are Cmat his command
1)
When I was a boy, I dreamed I saved my sister
From the Rosicrucian's for the love of God
I threw myself among them butchering their leaders
If anyone could expected in the name of God
2)
The dream of a child the song of a man
The key and the time are at this command, if he knows it
The dream of a child the song of a man
The key and the time are at his command
1)
When I was a boy, I dreamed that Elvis Presley
Was standing on the corner kissing Brenda Lee
Mama always told me love was made in heaven
Tell me how my best friend could steal my love from me
I love BA#renda Lee, Brenda Lee loves Cmme
Thanks to Metrolyrics for the lyrics, and thanks to Burton Cummings
for being a great musician.
