Theres alot of righting here but its worth the time to read so enjoy....

The intro and the verse are the same and can be either fingerpicked or strummed
although if you can get your fingers to pick the strings it sounds more effective.
The three opening chords are derivatives of Em,Cmaj7 and Em7.
The best way of fretting them are to use a C shape adding your little finger
to fret the top string at the 10th fret.
Only the bass(E) and top three strings are picked, with the index finger
being used to slide between the 7th and 8th fret
during the chord progression.
Although not all the strings held down are used when fingerpicked they sound OK
when strummed. Note the different finger positions for identical chords and have fun!!!

             The chord positions used are as follows:

                    Em (022000@1)   0 10 9 0 8 10
                    Cmaj7 (x32000@1)8 10 9 0 8 10 (use thumb to fret bass)
                    Em7    X 0  9 9 8 10
                    Asus2 (x02200@1)002200
                    Em (022000@1)   022000
                    Cmaj7 (x32000@1)332000
                    Dsus4 (xx0233@1)X54035
                    C (x32010@1)    332010
                    D (xx0232@1)    200232     (F# in the bass)
                    G (320003@1)    320033
                    G?     200033
                    Em7    020033


    Intro Em , Cmaj7, Em7  X2


EmI (022000@1)dreamt I was in heaven

and I was sitting in a bar
    Cmaj7With (x32000@1)all the other angels,
          Em7
you were smoking a cigar
EmOne (022000@1)hand on your hip

and one foot on a chair
      Cmaj7And (x32000@1)a golden ostrich feather
         Em7
that was planted in your hair

 Em, Cmaj7, Em7  X2


        EmAnd (022000@1)if I really were an angel,

I'd float over your bed
     Cmaj7Each (x32000@1)night a different dream of me
    Em7
I'd plant inside your head
   EmAnd (022000@1)if I were an angel,

I tell you what I'd do
     Cmaj7I'd (x32000@1)appear in a vision
        Asus2and (x02200@1)I'd give my wings to you

(--3--2--Em)see note below      EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2,EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2

At this point use standard chord positions i.e. Em     022000
                                                Cmaj7 (x32000@1)332000
                                                Asus2 (x02200@1)002200

Also from the end of the verse descend the bass string before you hit
the Em and Cmaj7 chord i.e.,-3-2-Emx2, -3-2-0-Cmaj7 , Asus2






Asus2        Dsus4  Em        (Dsus4 054035)(C shape + little finger)
And I'd say "come closer
C (x32010@1)           DFly (xx0232@1)into the light
             G (320003@1)   G?         EmAnd (022000@1)please, please don't be stupid     (see note below)
       G?       Csus2Let (x35533@1)me sleep tonight
     G (320003@1)   G?           EmAnd (022000@1)please don't be stupid
       G?        Csus2Let (x35533@1)me sleep tonight"


    G(320033)  G?(200033)        Em(020033)
NB.  "please     don't     be      stupid


                  G?(200033) Csus2 (x35533@1)(032033)
      let      me    sleep           tonight"     X2

(highlight the bass string run with pick or thumb)

EmI (022000@1)dreamt you were a genie

and I found you in the sand
              Cmaj7And (x32000@1)you were trapped inside a bottle
       Em7
and I held you in my hand

       EmAnd (022000@1)you said you'd grant me wishes

if you were ever freed
           Cmaj7I (x32000@1)said "an empty head when I go to bed
   Asus2
is all I ever need"

( bass string  -3-2-0)  Emx2,Cmaj7,Asus2,Emx2,Cmaj7,Asus2


  EmSo (022000@1)I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word
        Cmaj7 (x32000@1)                         Em7
And you laughed the cruellist laugh that I had ever heard
        EmAnd (022000@1)you said "about these wishes, it's too late to decide"
        Cmaj7 (x32000@1)                               Asus2But (x02200@1)I remembered that it was my dream... so I put you back inside

 3-2-Emx2    3-2-0 Cmaj7  Asus2     X2    (see note above)

  EmI (022000@1)dreamt I was a pirate

aboard a pirate ship
         Cmaj7And (x32000@1)for a hand I had a hook
          Em7
and for a heart I had a whip
              EmAnd (022000@1)you were trapped inside your bottle

and I kept you down below
         Cmaj7And (x32000@1)you begged me to release you...
     Asus2but (x02200@1)I would not let you go

 3-2- Em X2  Cmaj7, Asus2  X2

     EmOne (022000@1)night I was awoken

while we were out at sea
      Cmaj7By (x32000@1)a floating appartion
        Em7
glowing incadescently
    EmAnd (022000@1)I could see you clearly

as all around was black
         Cmaj7And (x32000@1)you tore off both your wings, said
         Asus2"Hey (x02200@1)now you can have them back!"
