[Intro]
C(2) G(4) C(2) F(2) C(2) G(4) C(2)
[Verse]
C(2)
Ain’t no scared holy cow
Got no pretty ruby mouth
G(4)
to smile and charm you through
No clever silver tongue to flatter people
C(2)
into doing what I want em to
F(2)
I'm not much for pushing buttons
pulling puppet strings or fussing
C(2)
Besides making silly rhymes
I'm really not so good at nothing
G(4)
But my heart keeps me amused
In this great world of confusion
I'm a dreamer
[Chorus]
C(2)
Hallelujah I'm a dreamer
[Verse]
C(2)
I got no blue blood touch of class
No laminated pass
G(4)
To where the in crowd hangs
I got no flaming rum dessert
C(2)
No front row seats reserved when old blue eyes sings
F(2)
But if you break it down to loving
It’s much more than just a promise
C(2)
I ain't no gift to girls, but I got the one I wanted
G(4)
And through any storm that blows
she still loves me, yes she knows
I'm a dreamer.
[Chorus]
C(2)
Hallelujah I'm a dreamer

C(2) G(4) C(2) F(2) C(2) G(4) C(2)
[Verse]
C(2)
So when there's pavement all around
green meadows can’t be found
G(4)
There'll still be dreamers
When every cotton field is gone
C(2)
I hope your children will have grown up to be dreamers
F(2)
With no boss to pay no mind
No turning wheels to grind
C(2)
No blade of grass disturbed
Or sleeping babies stirred
G(4)
There'll be no noise at all
Just a silent voice that calls
to all the dreamers
[Chorus]
C(2)
Hallelujah I'm a dreamer
[Outro]
G(2)
And my heart keeps me amused

Hallelujah I'm a dreamer
