Verse 1:
The (G) woman was a (D) dream I had, though (A)rather hard to(D)keep
For (G) when my eyes were (D) watching hers, they (A) closed, and I was
still as(D)leep
For (A) when my hand was holding hers, (G)she whispered words and
a(D)woke
And faintly (A) bouncing round the room, the (C) echo of whomever spoke
Verse 2:
The (G)place I saw was (D) far beneath the (A) surface of the (D) sea
My (G)sight was poor (D) but I was sure the (A) sirens sang their songs
for (D)
They (A) dance above me as I sink, (G) I see them through a crystal
(D)haze
And hear them (A) bouncing round the room, the (C) never ending coral
(G) maze
(C) Then before and (G) now once more I'm (A) bouncing round the room
(D) That time then and once again I'm (A) bouncing round the room
(C) That time then and once again I'm (G) bouncing round the room
I awoke, and faintly bouncing round the room, the echo of whomever
spoke.
(D) (A) (C) (G)
