Importante cantante y compositor de bonitas melodías folk, su primer sencillo “Taxi” logró un éxito inminente, pero sus primeros dos álbumes, “Head And Trais” y “Sniper And Other Love Songs” no disfrutarían del mismo éxito. Su tercer trabajo, “Short Stories”, permaneció en las listas unos seis meses gracias al sencillo “W.O.L.D.”. El disco “Verities And Balderdash” fue disco de oro y Chapin también consigue una nominación de la Academia por su documental “Legendary Champions” en 1968.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Here's my first attempt at a contribution. Just hammered it out in my living room...
Dreams Go By- Harry Chapin Capo Up 2- Play C (True D)
CDm There you stand in your dungarees CG Lookin all grown up and so very pleased. CDm When you write your poems,they have so much to say CG When I hear your dreams, it takes my breath away. FCEmAm You know I want to be a ballplayer, a regular sluggin fool DmGFGC But I guess our dreams must wait awhile, until we finish school.
Chorus CDm And so you and I, we watch our years go by, GAm We watch our sweet dreams fly, far away. EmG But maybe someday, CDm I don't know when, But we can dream again, GAmEmG And we'll be happy then, till our time, just drifts away.
There you stand in your wedding dress, You're so beautiful that I must confess I'm so proud you have chosen me, when a doctor is what you want to be You know I want to be a painter, girl, a real artistic snob. But I guess we'll have our children first, You'll find a home, I'll get a job. (Chorus)
Bridge AmEmAmEm Listen to the seasons passing, listen to the winds blow, AmEmFDG Listen to the children laughing, where do broken dreams go?
There you stand in your tailored suit, So many years go by, but you're still so cute. You take the car to go and meet the bus, When the grandchildren come to visit us. You say you should have been a ballerina, girl, There are songs I should have sung. But I guess our dreams have come and gone, You're supposed to dream when you are young. (Chorus)
