E E F G
I closed my eyes
^E ^E ^D ^C-G
Drew back the curtain
^C B A G-E
To see for certain
F F E D G
What I thought I knew
E E F-G
Far far away,
^E – ^E ^D ^C-G
Someone was weeping
^C ^C B A G-E
But the world was sleeping
F – F E D C
Any dream will do
E E F G
I wore my coat
^E ^E – ^D ^C-G
With golden lining
^C B – A G – E
Bright colours shining
F – F – E D G
Wonderful and new
E E F G
And in the east
^E ^E ^D C-G
The dawn was breaking
^C ^C B A G-E
And the world was waking
F – F E .D .C
Any dream will do
^C ^C ^C ^D
A crash of drums
A ^C A ^D
A flash of light
A ^C – ^C ^D
My golden coat
A ^C ^C ^D
Flew out of sight
^D ^E-^E ^D-^E ^F-^E ^D – C
The colours faded into darkness
B A B ^C-^D
I was left alone
