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.

Intro C/G C/G C/G
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
