Chords
This version has six basic parts: riff 1, verse, riff 2, chorus, bridge and outro. The strumming pattern is
different, so I won't try to model it.
Chord names are likely inaccurate but close.

[Outro]
D I had a dream that I was waking A/D At the burning edge of dawn G And I could see the fields of glory A I could hear the sower's song D I had a dream that I was waking A/D At the burning edge of dawn G And all that rain had washed me clean A All the sorrow was gone D I had a dream that I was waking A/D At the burning edge of dawn B And I could finally believe A The king had loved me all along D I had a dream that I was waking A/D At the burning edge of dawn G I saw the sower in the silver mist A D And He was calling me home
