G G6/9 G G6/9 G C
I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
C#9+ D
Left me to come through
G G6/9 G G6/9 G C
I headed for the right way
C#9+ D
I knew exactly just what to do
G G6/9 G G6/9 G C
I dreamed we played cards in the dark
C#9+ D
And you lost and you lied
G G6/9 G G6/9 G C
Wasn't very hard to do
C#9+ D G G6/9 G G6/9
But hurt me deep down inside
C D G G6/9 G G6/9
Mmmmmm, these dreams of you
C D G G6/9 G G6/9
So real and so true
C D G G6/9 G G6/9
These dreams of you
C D G G6/9 G9 G6/9 G
So real So true
My back was up against the wall
And you slowly
just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that way
With my face against the sun
You pointed out
for me to go
Then you said I was the one
Had to reap
what you did sow
Chorus
Bridge
Em D G G6/9 G G6/9
And hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye don't ever think about it
Em D G G6/9 G G6/9
Go to sleep don't ever say one word
Em D G Em C D
Close you eyes, you are an angel sent down from above
G G6/9 G9 G6/9 G
And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up
to do his best
A crowd of people gathered round
To the question
answered "yes"
And you slapped me on face
I turned around
the other cheek
you couldn't really stand the pace
And I would never
be so meek
Chorus
Bridge
