In the Dreamtime Ralph McTell
<i></i> C G C F C Am Dm G
The scent of smoke on desert wind, beneath the southern cross,
[C]Far be[G]yond where [C]time be[F]gins,[C] and gene[Am]rations [Dm]lost.[G]
[C]I could not be [F]further from you [C]now,
With [Am]both feet [F]on the [G]ground.
But in the [C]dreamtime [G]souls take [C]flight,
And [F]I am [C]closer [G]to you [C]now.
If [C]I should [G]lay me [C]down to [F]sleep,[C] by forest [Am]green or [Dm]shining l[G]ake,
[C]I could [G]arise to [C]find it [F]gone, [C]to take for [Am]granted [G]my mis[C]take.
Yet [C]I could not be [F]further from you [C]now,
With [Am]both feet [F]on the [G]ground.
But in the [C]dreamtime [G]souls take [C]flight,
And [F]I am [C]closer [G]to you [C]now.
[C]Mountains [G]crumble [C]forests [F]vanish, [C]seeds a[Am]wakened [Dm]by the [G]fire,
[C]Water [G]air and the [C]earth have [F]born them[C] and I can [Am]feel my [G]own ones [C]near.
Yet [C]I could not be [F]further from you [C]now,
With [Am]both feet [F]on the [G]ground.
But in the [C]dreamtime [G]souls take[C] flight,
And [F]I am [C]closer [G]to you [C]now.
[C]Flames are [G]dancing [C]in the [F]fire,[C] timeless [Am]songs are [Dm]on the [G]air,
[C]In the [G]wilder[C]ness they're [F]crying,[C] but there's [Am]laughter [G]every[C]where.
Yet [C]I could not be [F]further from you [C]now,
With [Am]both feet [F]on the [G]ground.
But in the [C]dreamtime [G]souls take [C]flight,
And [F]I am [C]closer [G]to you [C]now.
