Artist Barenaked ladies
Simplified by Steve Gibson
Basically, the other version was spot-on, but this version is easier to play.
So, take your pick -- it all depends on your playing style & level of skill.
capo: 3
[G]Wit[D]h l[C]ife[G] ju[D]st begun, the sleeping new son.
As eyes that go back in his head.
It flutters and dies, he slows down his heart.
And pictures a world past his bed.
[Am]It's[D] hard to believe.
As I watch you breath.
My mind drifts away.
[G]Whe[D]n you dream.
What do you dream about.
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
[Am]Do y[C]ou [G]dre[D]am about music or mathematics.
or planets to far the eye.
Do you dream about jesus or quantem mecanics.
or angels that sing lullabys.
[G]His[D] ph[C]ont[G]ene[D]l pulses with lives that he's lived.
With memories he'll learn to ignore.
And when it is closed, he already knows.
He's forgoten all he knew before.
[Am]But [D]when sleep sets in.
History begins.
But the future will win.
[G]Whe[D]n you dream.
What do you dream about.
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
[Am]Are [C]the[G]y c[D]oloured or black and white.
Yhidish or English, or languages not yet concieved.
Are they silent or boisteroius, do you hear noises.
Just loud enough to be foreseen.
Do you hear delshannons runaway playing on transistor radio waves.
With so little experience, your mind not yet cognizant.
Are you wise beyond your few days.
[G]Whe[D]n you dream.
What do you dream about.
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
