From: "Mathew L. Needleman" 
Subject: Dream Lover - Chord Pro format


Here is a simple campfire/sweetheart tune from about 1960.  Bobby
Darin had a few pretty good pop songs - and he wrote them himself!
These chords may not be exact but that hardly matters with a tune
like this.  Play the "because i want - a girl -" with a chunk-chunk
feel. -david.turner@rose.com (david turner)


Dream Lover                               Bobby Darin
===========

Verse 1:

[C] Every night I hope and pray-e-he,
[Am] a dream lover will come my way-
[C] a girl to hold in my arms and know-ooh-ho
[Am] the magic of her charms.
Because I [C //]want, a [G7 //] girl, to [C] call my [F] own.
I want a [C] dream [[Am] lover so [Dm7] I won9t have to [G7} dream [C] 
alone. [G ///]


Verse 2:

[C] Dream lover, where are you
[Am] with a love that9s oh so true
[C] and a hand that I can hold, 
to [Am] feel you near when I grow old?
Because I [C //]want, a [G7 //] girl, to [C] call my [F] own.
I want a [C] dream [[Am] lover so [Dm7] I won9t have to [G7} dream [C] 
alone. 
[C7]


Bridge:

[F] Someday, I don9t know how,
[C] I hope you9ll hear my plea.
[D7] Someway, I don9t know how,
[G7] She9ll bring her love to me.


Verse 3:

[C] Dream lover, until then,
[Am] I9ll go to sleep and dream again.
[C] That9s the only thing to do
[Am] until my 3lovers dreams2 come true.

Because I [C //]want, a [G7 //] girl, to [C] call my [F] own.
I want a [C] dream [[Am] lover so [Dm7] I won9t have to [G7} dream [C] 
alone.
