Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Hi there! This is my first tab on ultimate guitar,
so I hope it's right and it can be enjoyed.
Just a couple observations: I know this song was written by David Forman,
I personally don't like it and I've hearing the Up, Close and Alone version
my whole life. I think Burton Cummings did a great work with his cover,
that's why I'm placing this song here and so the lyrics of that version.
(it's always with the same chords, there is a change in the chorus but
it's in the timing)
Intro:
Eb Bb Ab Cm
1)
Eb Bb
When I was a boy I dreamed of Phillip Marlowe
Ab Cm
He took me as his partner took me as his friend
Eb Bb
Gave me his fedora gave me shotgun fever
Ab Cm
Took me as his partner to the end
1)
When I was a boy I dreamed I was a jeweler
With a family business that was free and clear
Selling golden earrings to Mrs. Mickey Mantle
Trying to be gentle while I stuck it in her ear
2) Chorus (these are the same, just start a bit earlier)
Eb Bb
The dream of a child, the song of a man
Ab Cm
The key and the time are at his command
Eb Bb
The dream of a child the song of a man
Ab Cm
The key and the time are at his command
1)
When I was a boy, I dreamed I saved my sister
From the Rosicrucian's for the love of God
I threw myself among them butchering their leaders
If anyone could expected in the name of God
2)
The dream of a child the song of a man
The key and the time are at this command, if he knows it
The dream of a child the song of a man
The key and the time are at his command
1)
When I was a boy, I dreamed that Elvis Presley
Was standing on the corner kissing Brenda Lee
Mama always told me love was made in heaven
Tell me how my best friend could steal my love from me
Bb Cm
I love Brenda Lee, Brenda Lee loves me
Thanks to Metrolyrics for the lyrics, and thanks to Burton Cummings
