Gordon Lightfoot - Broken Dreams
CAPO: 6th Fret
[INTRO:] C Bb F C
[VERSE 1:]
There's an ocean in my mind
E Am
I'd give the world if I could find
Bb F Dm Bb F C
A sailing ship and leave the past behind
Now that I must say adieu
E Am
It's killing me, I'm telling you
Bb F Dm Bb F C
When freedom calls what can a person do
[CHORUS:]
I have felt the winds of change
Bb F/C
Go stealing through my heart and soul
C Bb
How wild it seems
F/C G
In love songs and in nursery rhymes
F/C Bb
On movie screens, in fairy tales
C Bb
Lie broken dreams
C Bb
Life's broken dreams
C Bb F
Love's broken dreams
[VERSE 2:]
Sometimes a broken dream
E Am
Will make you sad or make you mean
Bb F Dm Bb F C
Sometimes things ain't as bad as they might seem
You might walk a lonely street
E Am
Until one day you chance to meet
Bb F Dm Bb F C
A stranger who might ask where have you been
[CHORUS:]
You will see the light of change
Bb F/C
Come shining through your windowpane
C Bb
When hope is gone
F/C G
Though money, fame, and riches are
F/C Bb C
For fools and kings or anything that turns them on
Bb
Life's broken deals
C Bb F
Life's spinning wheels
[INSTRUMENTAL:]
[VERSE 3:]
C
There's an ocean I have found
E Am
I'd like to sail the world around
Bb F Dm Bb F C
And dream about the life I hope I'll find
Now that I must say adieu
E Am
To love's returns, I'm telling you
Bb F Dm Bb F C
When freedom comes what can a person do
[CHORUS:]
I have felt the winds of change
Bb F/C
Go stealing through my heart and soul
C Bb
How wild they seem
F/C G
In sounds of spring, in winter storms
F/C Bb
In autumn gales, on summer morns lie broken dreams
C Bb
In love songs and in nursery rhymes
C Bb C
On movie screens, in fairy tales
Bb
Lie broken dreams
C Bb F
Life's broken dreams
C Bb F C
Love's broken dreams
