(drum fill)
"I had a dream so big and loud..."
"...please don't wake me now..."
Most of the interesting part is played on the banjo, but I don't know banjo
and it is very hard to hear during the chorus on any recording that I've
found. So, when I'm playing this song on guitar, I find that it is much
easier and doesn't change the sound of the song too much to just do this:
