Barenaked Ladies – When You Dream (Ukulele)

C                     F  
With life just begun, my sleeping new son

F                              C      F
Has eyes that roll back in his head

C                      F
They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart

F                             C      F
And pictures a world past his bed

Dm          F
Its hard to believe

Dm             F
As I watch you breathe

Dm                   F
Your mind drifts and weaves

C 
When you dream,

                  F
What do you dream about? 

C
When you dream,

                  F
What do you dream about? 

       Dm
Do you dream about

         F
Music or mathematics

   C                       F
Or planets too far for the eye? 

       Dm
Do you dream about

         F      
Jesus or quantum mechanics

   C               F
Or angels who sing lullabies? 

C                          F
His fontanelle pulses with lives that hes lived

     F                      C        F
With memories hell learn to ignore

C                      F
And when it is closed, he already knows

    F                     C        F
Hes forgotten all he knew before

Dm                  F
But when sleep sets in

Dm        F
History begins

Dm                  F
But the future will win

C 
When you dream,

                  F
What do you dream about? 

C
When you dream,

                  F
What do you dream about? 

         Dm           
Are they colour or black and white,

F
Yiddish or english

   C                    F
Or languages not yet conceived? 

         Dm 
Are they silent or boisterous? 

F 
Do you hear noises just

C                    F
Loud enough to be perceived? 

       Dm                 
Do you hear del shannons 

F
runaway playing

   C                F
On transistor radio waves? 

Dm
With so little experience,

F
Your mind not yet cognizant

C                            F
Are you wise beyond your few days? 

C 
When you dream,

                  F
What do you dream about? 

C
When you dream,

                  F
What do you dream about?
