Don't Dream It's Over

(N. Finn)

NOTES:

-- Neil's guitar is tuned down one half-step for this song.  If
you're going to try and play along, you'll have to do the same.

-- For all you bar chord haters, this is one song you won't like.  Every
chord is a bar chord.  of course, you don't -have- to play it that way.
the first chord is on the 7th fret, second is on the 4th, etc.  if you
are having any difficulties with these chords, contact me (marck@nwu.edu).




INTRO:  E(9)* E9*  E7sus*

E(9)                    C#(9)*
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
A                                  G#
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
E(9)                   C#(9)
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
A
But you'll never see the end of the road
             G#
While you're traveling with me


CHORUS
A        B
Hey now, hey now
E(9)             C#(9)
Don't dream it's over
A        B
Hey now, hey now
         E(9)        C#(9)
When the world comes in
A          B
They come, they come
E(9)              C#(9)
To build a wall between us
A                         B
We know they won't win


Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

CHORUS

(Chords under Hammond organ solo:  E(9)  C#(9)   A   G#)

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win
