Theres alot of righting here but its worth the time to read so enjoy.... The intro and the verse are the same and can be either fingerpicked or strummed although if you can get your fingers to pick the strings it sounds more effective. The three opening chords are derivatives of Em,Cmaj7 and Em7. The best way of fretting them are to use a C shape adding your little finger to fret the top string at the 10th fret. Only the bass(E) and top three strings are picked, with the index finger being used to slide between the 7th and 8th fret during the chord progression. Although not all the strings held down are used when fingerpicked they sound OK when strummed. Note the different finger positions for identical chords and have fun!!! The chord positions used are as follows: Em 0 10 9 0 8 10 Cmaj7 8 10 9 0 8 10 (use thumb to fret bass) Em7 X 0 9 9 8 10 Asus2 002200 Em 022000 Cmaj7 332000 Dsus4 X54035 C 332010 D 200232 (F# in the bass) G 320033 G' 200033 Em7 020033 Intro Em , Cmaj7, Em7 X2
EmI dreamt I was in heaven and I was sitting in a bar WithCmaj7 all the other angels, you were sEm7moking a cigar EmOne hand on your hip
and one foot on a chair
And a Cmaj7golden ostrich feather that was Em7planted in your hair
Em, Cmaj7, Em7 X2
And if IEm really were an angel, I'd float over your bed Each Cmaj7night a different dream of me I'd Em7plant inside your head AndEm if I were an angel,
I tell you what I'd do
I'd aCmaj7ppear in a vision and I'd Asus2give my wings to you
(--3--2--Em)see note below EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2,EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2 At this point use standard chord positions i.e. Em 022000 Cmaj7 332000 Asus2 002200 Also from the end of the verse descend the bass string before you hit the Em and Cmaj7 chord i.E.,-3-2-Emx2, -3-2-0-Cmaj7 , Asus2 Asus2 Dsus4 Em (Dsus4 054035)(C shape + little finger) And I'd say "come closer

EmI dreamt you were a genie and I found you in the sand And you were tCmaj7rapped inside a bottle and I hEm7eld you in my hand
And youEm said you'd grant me wishes if you were ever freed I said &quoCmaj7t;an empty head when I go to bed is Asus2all I ever need"

SoEm I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word And you Cmaj7laughed the cruellist laugh thatEm7 I had ever heard And you Emsaid "about these wishes, it's too late to decide" But I reCmaj7membered that it was my dream... so I Asus2put you back inside

I Emdreamt I was a pirate aboard a pirate ship And for aCmaj7 hand I had a hook and for a Em7heart I had a whip And you were tEmrapped inside your bottle

One nEmight I was awoken while we were out at sea By a fCmaj7loating appartion glowing Em7incadescently And EmI could see you clearly
