Innocent When You Dream
From "Frank's Wild Years"
by Tom Waits
[Verse 1]
F Dm7 Bb
The bats are in the belfry
C7 F
the dew is on the moor
A7 Dm
where are the arms that held me
Bb F
and pledged her love before
Gm7 C7 F
and pledged her love before
[Chorus]
F Dm7 Bb
And it's such a sad old feeling
C7 F
all the fields are soft and green
F Dm7 Bb
and it's memories that I'm stealing
F Bb F
but you're innocent when you dream
Bb F
when you dream,
F Bb F
you're innocent when you dream
Bb F
when you dream
F Bb C7 F
you're innocent when you dream
[Verse 2]
F Dm7 Bb
We were running through the graveyard
C7 F
and we laughed my friends and I
A7 Dm
we swore we'd be together
Bb F
until the day we died
Gm7 C7 F
until the day we died
[Chorus]
F Dm7 Bb
And it's such a sad old feeling
C7 F
all the fields are soft and green
F Dm7 Bb
and it's memories that I'm stealing
F Bb F
but you're innocent when you dream
Bb F
when you dream,
F Bb F
you're innocent when you dream
Bb F
when you dream
F Bb C7 F
you're innocent when you dream
[Verse 3]
F Dm7 Bb
I made a golden promise
C7 F
that we would never part
A7 Dm
I gave my love a locket
Bb F
and then I broke her heart
Gm7 C7 F
and then I broke her heart
[Chorus]
F Dm7 Bb
And it's such a sad old feeling
C7 F
all the fields are soft and green
F Dm7 Bb
and it's memories that I'm stealing
F Bb F
but you're innocent when you dream
Bb F
when you dream,
F Bb F
you're innocent when you dream
Bb F
when you dream
F Bb C7 F
you're innocent when you dream
