                #9 Dream - John Lennon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: John Lennon
From: "Walls and Bridges" (1974), now on many Greatest Hits collections

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

One of Lennon's sweetest tunes. Large parts of the composition and the 
production sound very much like Harrison - from the slide guitar intro 
to the chord pattern in the chorus and outro recalling "My Sweet Lord".

[Verse]
C  Em      F      E
So-oh long ago
            F     D     
Was it in a dream,        
F            G
  Was it just a dream?
     C    Em        F      E
I-hi know-oh, yes I know
          F         D      
Seemed so very real,         
F              G
  It seemed so real to me 


[Bridge]
                     G
Took a walk down the street
                           G
Through the heat whispered trees
                  Em9   A  Em9   A  Em9   A   Em9   A  
I thought I could hear,    hear,    hear,     hear)
Em7                    A    Em7                A  
  Somebody call out my name    as it started to rain 
Em7                     A  
   Two spirits dancing so strange 


[Chorus]
Gm        C                Gm
  Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse
        C                Gm
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse
        C               D/F#
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse 


[Interlude]
| D/F# D/E | D D/C | G/B G7/A | G6 G/F | G/F |


[Verse]
C  Em         F      E
Dream, dream away
             F     D 
Magic in the air,          
F             G
  Was magic in the air?
    C Em           F       E
I believe, yes I believe
              F     D
More I cannot say,           
F           G
  What more can I say? 


[Bridge]
              G
On a river of sound
                      G
Through the mirror go round, round
                  Em9   A  Em9   A  Em9   A   Em9   A  
I thought I could feel,    feel,    feel,     feel
Em7                A     Em7                     A  
 Music touching my soul,  something warm, sudden cold
Em7                    A   
The spirit dance was unfolding 


[Chorus]
Gm      C                Gm
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse
        C                Gm
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse
        C               D/F#
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse 


[Interlude]
| D/F# D/E | D D/C | G/B G7/A | G6 G/F | G/F |


[Chorus] / [Outro]
Gm      C                Gm
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse
        C                Gm
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse
        C                Gm
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse
        C                Gm
Ah! bowakawa pousse, pousse
