The Dreamer

the intro pattern pretty much repeats throughout the song . standard tuning , unlike
almost every other tallest man song . i’m not quite sure about the lyrics , but i
think the rest is pretty accurate .

verse :

Dm G C F
i’m just a dreamer but i’m hanging on
Dm G C F
though i Am nothing big to offer
Dm G C F
i watch the birds , how they dive in then gone
E F Gsus4 G
it’s like nothing in this world’s ever still

Dm G C F
and i’m just a shadow of your thoughts in me
Dm G C F
but sun is setting , shadows growing
Dm G C F
a long cast figure will turn into night
E F Gsus4 G
it’s like nothing in this world ever sleeps

chorus :

C F G C ( C/B )
oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
Am F Gsus4 G
and why can’t that always be
C F G C ( C/B )
tossing aside from your birches crown
Am F Gsus4 G
just enough dark to see
n . C .
how you’re the light over me

Dm G C F x2

verse :
and by your side , girl , where the acres grow
into the strong and stunning meadow
a cowboy stumbling in the finest field
and nothing good out there won’t be old

chorus :
oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
and why can’t that always be
tossing aside from your birches crown
just enough dark to see
how you’re the light over me

( same as chorus )
C F G C ( C/B )
Am F Gsus4 G

chorus :
sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
and why can’t that always be
tossing aside from your birches crown
just enough dark to see
how you’re the light over me

( same as the intro )
Dm G C F x6
