Dreamer
View chords used in this chart
Am G
He is down by the riverside
Dm Am
Late one night
C G
He's tryin' to count the stars
Dm E E7
In each of the signs
All alone by the riverside
And time passes by
Gathering thoughts of the past
And maybe he'll cry
C G
He's a dreamer
Dm Am
And he's fightin' for his life
C G F
He's tryin' to understand
C G
He's a dreamer
Dm Am
But he wants to carry on
C G F
Yet I know he's a lonely man
So they say he's a madman
And he don't understand
But I know that he's tryin' hard
To act like a man
All those years he has suffered, my friends
All those years of pain
But I don't think he knows for sure
If those years were in vain
