Verse:
C F
In the morning when I wake up and listen to the sound
C F G
Of the birds outside on the roof,
C F
I try to ignore what the paper says
C F
And I try not to read all the news
C F
And I hold you if you've had a bad dream
C F G
And I hope it never comes true
C F
'cause you and I been through so many things together
C F G
And the sun starts climbin' the roof....
Chorus:
C
It's a dream
G
Only a dream
Fmaj7 G
And it's fading now
C
Fadin' away
G
It's only a dream
Fmaj7
Just a memory
G C
Without anywhere to stay
C F C F
Verse:
C F
The Red River still flows through my hometown
C F G
Rollin' and tumblin' on its way
C F
Swirlin' around the old bridge pilings
C F
Where a boy fishes the mornin' away
C F
His bicycle leans on an oak tree
C F G
While the cars rumble over his head
C F
An airplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky
C F G
And the young birds call out to be fed
C
It's a dream
G
Only a dream
Fmaj7 G
And it's fading now
C
Fadin' away
G
Only a dream
Fmaj7
Just a memory
G C
Without anywhere to stay

C F
An old man walks along the sidewalk
C F G
With sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
C F
Fall winds blow the back of his overcoat away
C F
As he stops with a policeman to chat
C F
And a train rolls out of the station
C F G
That was really somethin' in its day
C F
Pickin' up speed on the straight prairie rails
C F G
As it carries the passengers away
C
It's gone
G
It's only a dream
Fmaj7 G
And it's fading now
C
Fadin' away
G
Only a dream
Fmaj7
Just a memory
G C
Without anywhere to stay
