Capo 1

C/G   332010

This song is quite simple and she plays it with a walking bass and adds
some bass runs here and there. The bass note is picked on count one and three
and on count two and four is a down- and upstroke. I am not sure about every-
thing as I had to tab it by ear only.

Verse 1     C/G       C/G        C/G
              I had a dream last night
                E             E
            The worst in many years
                   D            D
            Had me biting on my pillow
                   G            G
            Had me waking up in tears
                C/G             C/G
            I was knocking on a door
                  C/G              C/G
            I?d been knocking all my life
              E                    D            G        G  G  G
            Expecting great things on the other side

Biss                     C/G    C/G             C/G   C/G
            On the other side      On the other side
              E                    D            E     E  E  E
            Expecting great things on the other side

Verse 2                   C/G     C/G
              There was a beam of light
              E                   E
            I sensed the time was near
               D                D
            I was getting all excited
                   G                 G
            Saw my future bright and clear
                C/G             C/G
            The lock gave out a roar
                    C/G            C/G
            And the door slid open wide
                  E                D              G     G  G  G
            I was free to walk out on the other side

Biss                     C/G   C/G            C/G   C/G 
            On the other side      On the other side
                    E                D             E    E  E  E
            Finally free to walk out on the other side

Verse 3                        C/G            C/G
               That?s when the dream got frightening
                  E             E
            I was not at all prepared
                    D               D
            For the empty hall that met me
                       G                G
            And the truth that lived in there
                  C/G           C/G
            The castle and the king
                       C/G          C/G
            And the diamonds in the sky
                 E             D                 G     G  G  G
            Were nowhere to be seen on the other side

Biss                   C/G   C/G            C/G   C/G
            On the other side    On the other side
                      E              D            G    G  G  G 
            No, there were no lights on the other side
                         C/G   C/G            C/G   C/G
            On the other side    On the other side
                      E               D            E     E  E  E
            Yeah, the lights were off on the other side

Verse 4                 C/G      C/G
            Now, if the dream is right
              E                  E
            And if I?m thinking clear
              D                     D              G            G
            I guess I should be thankful to have woken up right here
                C/G               C/G       C/G        C/G
            And not half-way up a ladder into an empty sky
                   E          D      C/G              C/G   C/G C/G 
            Not looking for a better place to live my life
                  E                        D               G      G  G  G
            No, I think I?ll just stay and live it on this side 

Biss              C/G   C/G       C/G   C/G
            On this side    On this side
                      E                D            G
            I?ll just stay and live my life on this side
