– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

this is a really basic 3 – chord song , E A B . i play it on my acoustic guitar ,
barring/power chording the chords except for the “so dream on” chorus parts
to give it more impact . the below lyrics use the music video ending , which
cuts off sooner than the album end . listen to the song; she switches up the
way she spaces the “dream on” parts each time .

E – 779xxx – 022100 on “dream on”
A – 577xxx – 002220 on “dream on”
B – 799

xxxthe structure is thus :
E A E A
B A B A
B A E A ( plus extra E a for any extra “dream on”s )

E A
thugs and bad men , punks and lifers
locked up interns , pigs and snitches

B A
rest your weary heads , all is well

B
you won’t be strip – searched , torn up tonight

A
you won’t be cut up , bleeding tonight

B
you won’t be strung out , cold , shaking to your bones

A
wishing you were anywhere else but right here

E A
so dream on ( dream on )

thieves and muggers , tricks and hustlers
cheats and traitors , scum and low – lifes

rest your weary heads , all is well
you won’t be sad or broken tonight
you won’t be squealed on , ripped off tonight
you won’t be back – stabbed , double crossed , face down
teeth knocked out , lying in a gutter somewhere

E A
so dream on

E A
so dream on

E A E A

freaks and junkies , fakes and phonies
drunks and cowards , manic preachers

rest your weary heads , all is well
you won’t be pushed or messed with tonight
you won’t be lied to , ruffed up tonight
you won’t be insane , paranoid , obsessed
aimlessly wandering through the dark night

E A
so dream on , so dream on

E
you won’t be insane , paranoid , obsessed

A
aimlessly wandering through the dark night

E
so dream on
