Chords

Great Blondie tune from 1979; they played this to open the 1979 SNL fall TV season 10/13/79 - very nicely done, and Debbie was a stunning knockout in a short green dress! Tabbed by Marty Lurvey. [Intro] C F x4 [Verse 1]
C                     F
When I met you in the restaurant,

C                       F
you could tell I was no debutante.

C                        G                       Am
  You asked me what's my pleasure, "A movie or a measure?"

                   F       G
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my...
[Chorus]
C         F
Dreaming, dreaming is free.

C         F
Dreaming, dreaming is free.
[Verse 2]
C                       F
I don't want to live on charity.

C                        F
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?

C                      G                       Am
Reel to reel is living rarity, people stop and stare at me,

                F   G               C
We just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming.
[Bridge]
F
Beat feet, walking a two-mile,
Meet me, meet me at the turnstile.
  C                   G
I never met him, I'll never forget him.

F
Dream, dream, even for a little while,
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour,
C               G / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /
Fade away, woo, radiate.
[Verse 3]
C                      F
I sit by and watch the river flow.

C                      F
I sit by and watch the traffic go.

 C                        G                           Am
Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and hold,

                    F    G
I'd build a road in gold just to have some...
[Chorus / Outro]
C         F
Dreaming, dreaming is free.

C         F
Dreaming, dreaming is free.

C         F
Dreaming, dreaming is free.

C         F
          dreaming is free.

C    F    x3
