Intro: C F7M
C F7M
In the morning when I wake up and listen to the sound
C F7M G
Of the birds outside on the roof
C F7M
I try to ignore what the paper says
C F7M G
And I try not to read all the news
C F7M
And I'll hold you if you had a bad dream
C F7M G
And I hope it never comes true
C F7M
'Cause you and I been through so many things together
C F7M G
And the sun starts climbing the roof
C
It's a dream
G
Only a dream
F7M G
And it's fading now
C
Fading away
G
It's only a dream
F7M G C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
( C F7M C F7M )
C F7M
The Red River stills flows through my home town
C F7M G
Rollin' and tumblin' on its way
C F7M
Swirling around the old bridge pylons
C F7M G
Where a boy fishes the morning away
C F7M
His bicycle leans on an oak tree
C F7M G
While the cars cross by overhead
C F7M
An aeroplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky
C F7M G
And the young birds call out to be fed
C
It's a dream
G
Only a dream
F7M G
And it's fading now
C
Fading away
G
It's only a dream
F7M G C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay

C F7M
An old man walks along on the sidewalk
C F7M G
Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
C F7M
The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away
C F7M G
As he stops with the policeman to chat
C F7M
And a train rolls out of the station
C F7M G
That was really somethin' in its day
C F7M
Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails
C F7M G
As it carries the passengers away
C
And it's gone
G
Only a dream
F7M G
And it's fading now
C
Fading away
G
Only a dream
F7M G C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
( C F7M C F7M )
C
It's a dream

Only a dream
F7M G
And it's fading now
C
Fading away
G
It's only a dream
F7M G C
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
