House of Dreams Blue Rodeo
Here's one Blue Rodeo tune that I have been playing for a while. I haven't
seen it posted here or in the Nevada archive. It is a vintage Jim Cuddy love
ballad. I hope everything is clear (I'm a virgin poster).
NOTE:
When playing the Esus in the intro and throughout, hammer the A note (on the G
string). I tried to indicate that with an "h" in the Intro TAB. Just email
me if anyone needs help deciphering.

[F#m]Can't stand the sight of myself
Lying in bed all day with the curtains [E]drawn [Esus](as i[E]n [Esus]intro[E])
[F#m]Staring at the clock on the window ledge
The angry words you said come back so s[E]trong[Esus] [E] [Esus] [E]
BRIDGE 1:
Sometimes [Abm]love quits, [A]Oh, when the pieces don't fit[A] [Abm]
[F#m]And suddenly all your world falls to the [E]floor
Then all your [Abm]wild days [A]all fall away[A] [Abm]
[F#m]You can't see much [Abm]point in them [A]anymore[B]
CHORUS:
In this h[E]ouse of d[B]reams
I let you [Dbm]walk like a ghost u[A]nseen
[A]Girl [Abm]on the [F#m]day you left
[B]Out walked [A]my every[E]thing .[Esus]..[E] [Esus] [E]
I must have thought you'd always be here
I never even noticed when the changes came one day
Seems one minute you were standing close
I turned around again and girl you were far away
BRIDGE 2:
And every plan we made, I just let them fade
And pile up on the floor beside the bed
Now you're gone away but your memory stays
I sit here thinking of the things I never said
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL (play chords from the verse)
BRIDGE 3:
Sometimes love quits when the pieces don't fit
And suddenly all your world falls to the floor
Now you're gone away, but your memory stays
I hear your voice behind every single door
CHORUS
[E]... everythi[E7]ng ...[A] [Am] [E]
