Intro: C F7M C F7M In the morning when I wake up and listen to the sound C F7M G Of the birds outside on the roof C F7M I try to ignore what the paper says C F7M G And I try not to read all the news C F7M And I'll hold you if you had a bad dream C F7M G And I hope it never comes true C F7M 'Cause you and I been through so many things together C F7M G And the sun starts climbing the roof( C F7M C F7M ) C F7M The Red River stills flows through my home town C F7M G Rollin' and tumblin' on its way C F7M Swirling around the old bridge pylons C F7M G Where a boy fishes the morning away C F7M His bicycle leans on an oak tree C F7M G While the cars cross by overhead C F7M An aeroplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky C F7M G And the young birds call out to be fedC It's a dream G Only a dream F7M G And it's fading now C Fading away G It's only a dream F7M G C Just a memory without anywhere to stay( C F7M C F7M ) C F7M An old man walks along on the sidewalk C F7M G Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat C F7M The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away C F7M G As he stops with the policeman to chat C F7M And a train rolls out of the station C F7M G That was really somethin' in its day C F7M Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails C F7M G As it carries the passengers awayC It's a dream G Only a dream F7M G And it's fading now C Fading away G It's only a dream F7M G C Just a memory without anywhere to stay( C F7M C F7M )C And it's gone G Only a dream F7M G And it's fading now C Fading away G Only a dream F7M G C Just a memory without anywhere to stay( C F7M C F7M C )C It's a dream G Only a dream F7M G And it's fading now C Fading away G It's only a dream F7M G C Just a memory without anywhere to stay
