John O'Dreams        The chord progression is the same for each verse. No Capo


 G                              C        G
When midnight comes and people homeward tread
  G                               C      G
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed
  G              D                    C  G
Home comes the rover, his journey's over
   G                            C        G 
Yield up the night time to old John O' Dreams
   G                             C        G
Yield up the night time to old John O' Dreams


Across the hill, the sun has gone astray
Tomorrow's cares are many dreams away
The stars are flying, your candle is dying 
Yield up the darkness to old John O' Dreams
Yield up the darkness to old John O' Dreams


Both man and master in the night are one
All things are equal when the day is done
The prince and the ploughman, the slave and the freeman
All find their comfort in old John O' Dreams
All find their comfort in old John O' Dreams


When sleep it comes the dreams come running clear 
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here 
Sleep is a river, flows on forever
And for your boatman choose old John O' Dreams
And for your boatman choose old John O' Dreams


When midnight comes and people homeward tread 
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed
Home comes the rover, his journey's over 
Yield up the night time to old John O' Dreams
Yield up the night time to old John O' Dreams
