G5 A5 G5 

Verse 1:

A5             B5   Em  G A5                  B5 
I had a golden ring and I kept it with golden things 
Em G   A5              B5     Em   G   A5                  B5     Em  G 
In the Bank of Million dreams that was bursting at all the seams 
Am             Em    Em G   Am                Em    Em G 
I had a golden ring. It was such an important thing 
Am                        Em   Em  G Am               G 
That I kept it beneath my bed, and I carried it in my head 

Verse 2:

A5             B5     Em  G   A5                  B5 
I had a golden dream, and the way it came down to me 
Em  G       A5               B5  Em  G    A5               B5 
Was through Captains of Alchemy, who came up from a steely sea 
Em  G Am                        Em     Em  G Am               Em 
And I dreamed through the rainy night, and I managed to sleep alright 
    G  Am             Em     Em   G Am                 G 
And my body became so light, that I managed to give it flight 



               G5                          B5 
Because I know gold is just a trick of the light 
            F5           C5  D#5 
And lead is light as a feather 
    G5                            B5 
So, leave me where the kids are alright 
            F5            C5    D#5 
And we will all go down together

Verse 3:
 
Am             Em     Em  G    Am                Em 
I had a golden dream, and they took it away from me 
    G    Am                  Em    Em  G    Am                    G 
And they pulled it out of my head, and they showed me that it was lead 



               G5                          B5 
Because I know gold is just a trick of the light 
            F5           C5  D#5 
And lead is light as a feather 
    G5                            B5 
So, leave me where the kids are alright 
            F5            C5    D#5 
And we will all go down together

And that's the way it's going to be
