I Dreamed A Dream – Susan Boyle (Les Miserables)
(I picked this up some time ago and modified it; but can’t remember from where,
so this is the only credit I can give for this beautiful song).
Intro: C C/B Am Am/G F G C (CM7 = 032000)
CM7 Am Am7 F F7 Dm7 G7 C
I dreamed a dream in time gone by, when hope was high, and life worth living,
CM7 Am Am7 F F7 Dm7 G7 C
I dreamed that love would never die, I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
CM7 Am Am7 F F7 Dm7 G7 C
Then I was young and una-fraid, and dreams were made and used and wasted,
CM7 Am7 Am F F7 Dm7 G A
There was no ransom to be paid, no song unsung, no wine untasted
Dm A A7 D G
But the tigers come at night, with their voices soft as thunder,
Cm G C Dm Em F G C
As they tear your hope apart, and they turn your dream to sha..a..a..a..a..me.
CM7 Am Am7 F F7 Dm7 G7 C
He slept a summer by my side, he filled my days with endless wonder,
CM7 Am7 Am F Asus G C G Gm A D
He took my childhood in his stride, but he was gone when autumn ca..a..a..a..a..me.
D7 Bm7 Bm G G7 Em7 A D
And still I dream he'll come to me, that we will live the years together,
D7 Bm7 Bm G
But there are dreams that cannot be;
G7 Em7 A D D7 Bm7
And there are storms we cannot weather.
Bm G G7 Em7 A D
I had a dream my life would be, so different from this hell I'm living,
D7 Bm7 Bm G A D
So different now from what it seemed, now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
