Bob Dylan – Bob Dylan’s Dream

         D             Em  
While riding on a train goin' west 
          G            A  
I feel asleep for take my a rest 
     D                      G    D  
I dreamed a dream that made me sad 
              A               G                   D  
Concerning myself and the first few friend that I had. 
 
                         Em  
With half-damp eyes I stared to the room 
            G                    A  
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon 
       D                        G      D  
Where we together weathered many a storm 
                A                  G                 D  
Laughin' and singing 'till the early hours of the morn'. 
 
                                    Em  
By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung 
      G                      A  
Our words were told, our songs were sung 
       D                                 G        D  
Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied 
              A                     G     D  
Talking and a-joking about the world outside. 
 
                                  Em  
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold 
     G                                A  
We never thought we could ever get old 
      A                      G       D  
We thought we could sit forever in fun 
                   A              G       D  
But our chances really was a million to one. 
 
                         Em  
As easy it was to tell black from white 
                  G              A                     
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right 
           D                              G           D  
And our choices they were few and the thought never hit 
               A                             D           D  
That the one road we travelled would ever shatter and split. 

                       Em    
How many a year has passed and gone 
          G           A  
Many a gamble has been lost and won 
      D                      G            D  
And many a road taken by many a first friend 
           A          G             D  
And each one I've never seen again. 
 
                    Em  
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain 
                  G                  A  
That we could sit simply in that room again 
       D                        G       D  
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat 
                  A               G                 D  
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.
