VERSE 1:
F (133211@1)          F/E (xx2211@1)              Dm (xx0231@1)F/C (133211@1)I dreamed a dream in time gone by

Bb (x1333x@1)           Bb/A                Gm7  C11C7
 when hope was high and life worth living.

F (133211@1)             F/E (xx2211@1)           Dm7  F/C (133211@1)I dreamed that love would never die,

Bb7 (x13131@1)           Bb7/A           Gm7  C11C7
 I dreamed that God would be forgiving.



VERSE 2:
F (133211@1)          F/E (xx2211@1)       Dm (xx0231@1)F/C (133211@1)Then I was young and unafraid

Bb (x1333x@1)              Bb/A              Gm7  C11C7
 when dreams were made and used and wasted.

F (133211@1)           F/E (xx2211@1)        Dm7  F/C (133211@1)There was no ransom to be paid,

Bb7 (x13131@1)      Bb7/A           Gm7  C11C7
 no song unsung, no wine untasted.



BRIDGE:
D (xx0232@1)      D/F# (200232@1)         Gm (355333@1)Gm/Bb
 But the tigers come at night

D (xx0232@1)         D/F# (200232@1)          G (320003@1)  G/B (143121@7)
 with their voices soft as thunder

C (x32010@1)      C/E (x3111x@5)          Fm (133111@1)Fm/Ab (113111@1)as they tear your hope apart

C (x32010@1)                         F (133211@1)Gm/F  F (133211@1)Gm/F  C (x32010@1)as they turn your dream to shame.



VERSE 3:
F (133211@1)         F/E (xx2211@1)        Dm (xx0231@1)F/C (133211@1)He slept a summer by my side,

Bb (x1333x@1)          Bb/A              Gm7  C13 (x32335@1)he filled my days with endless wonder.

F (133211@1)         F/E (xx2211@1)            Dm7  F/C (133211@1)He took my childhood in his stride

Bb7 (x13131@1)       C13 (x32335@1)            F (133211@1)C/E (x3111x@5)Cm6/Eb  Dsus7  D7 (xx0212@1)but he was gone when autumn came.

C (x32010@1)            C/B (x2555x@1)            Am7 (x02010@1)D13 (x21224@4)D7 (xx0212@1)that we would live the years together

G (320003@1)            G/F# (320002@1)             Em (022000@1)G/D (4x3121@7)but there are dreams that cannot be

C (x32010@1)            C/B (x2555x@1)            Am7 (x02010@1) D13 (x21224@4)D7 (xx0212@1)and there are storms we cannot weather.



ENDING: 
G (320003@1)G/F# (320002@1)Em (022000@1)     G/D (4x3121@7)               C (x32010@1)G/B (143121@7)         I had adream (x02210@1)my life would be

Am7 (x02010@1)         C11 (x33333@1)     D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)so different from this hell I'm living,

              G/F# (320002@1)           Em7  G/D (4x3121@7)so different now from what it seemed

C (x32010@1)           D7 (xx0212@1)               G (320003@1)G/F# (320002@1)Em7  G/B (143121@7)C (x32010@1)D7 (xx0212@1)G (320003@1)           
 now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
