Here's my first attempt at a contribution. Just hammered it out in my
living room...
Dreams Go By- Harry Chapin
Capo Up 2- Play C (True D)
CThere Dmyou stand in your dungarees
LooCkin all Ggrown up and so very pleased.
When Cyou write your poems,they havDme so much to say
When I Chear your dreams, it takes my Gbreath away.
You Fknow I want to be a ballplayer, a Cregular Emsluggin Amfool
But I gDmuess our dreams must Gwait awhile, Funtil we Gfinish Cschool.
Chorus
CAnd so you and I, we watch our yDmears go by,
We watch our sGweet dreams fly, far Amaway.
But mEmaybe sGomeday,
CI don'Dmt know when, But we can dream again,
And wGe'll be hAmappy then, Emtill oGur time, just drifts away.
There you stand in your wedding dress,
You're so beautiful that I must confess
I'm so proud you have chosen me, when a doctor is what you want to be
You know I want to be a painter, girl, a real artistic snob.
But I guess we'll have our children first,
You'll find a home, I'll get a job.
(Chorus)
Bridge
AmListen Emto the seasons paAmssing, listen Emto the winds blow,
AmListen to the cEmhildren Flaughing, where dDo brokeGn dreams go'
There you stand in your tailored suit,
So many years go by, but you're still so cute.
You take the car to go and meet the bus,
When the grandchildren come to visit us.
You say you should have been a ballerina, girl,
There are songs I should have sung.
But I guess our dreams have come and gone,
You're supposed to dream when you are young.
(Chorus)
