in dreams chords *
roy orbison

C Am
a candy – colored clown they call the sandman
Dm G
tiptoes to my room every night
C Am
just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
F G7 C
go to sleep . everything is all right .

C Dm
i close my eyes , then i drift away
G7 C
into the magic night . i softly say
Dm
a silent prayer like dreamers do .
G7 C
then i fall asleep to dream my dreams of you .

C G7 F G7 C
in dreams i walk with you , in dreams i talk to you .
D7 C Dm
in dreams you re mine , all of the time we re together
G C Dm G7
in dreams , in dreams .

C Fm C Fm C
but just before the dawn , i awake and find you gone .
C Dm
i can t help it , i can t help it , if i cry .
G7 C
i remember that you said goodbye .

C F G7 C F G7
it s too bad that all these things , can only happen in my dreams
C D7 Dm7 G7 C
only in dreams in beautiful dreams .
