Chords

[Intro] D C G D (x2) [Chorus]
D             C
When I have a problem

  G                 D
I know just what to do

  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while

G                   D
Something will come through
[Verse 1]
    D              C
The sky is ever darkening

   G              D
My bones begin to shake

    D                    C
The streets of town are emptying

        G           D
There’s no one left awake

D                       C
Concern, concern that’s all there is

    G              D
The tambour of the day

    D               C
But when I close my eyes I find

G                D
There is another way
[Chorus]
D             C
When I have a problem

  G                 D
I know just what to do

  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while

G              D
Something will come through
[Verse 2]
    D              C
The way to roll is blatant

    G                 D
The air to breathe is clear

   D            C
My worry bag is vacant

   G             D
My cookie jar is here

    D          C
My lady has my back she sings

     G             D
That everything’s alright

   D               C
So we lay down and sleep and dream

    G                D
And spoon each other tight
[Chorus]
D             C
When I have a problem

  G                 D
I know just what to do

  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while

G                   D
Something will come through
[Verse 3]
    Am             Em
The sun is beating harder

C                   G
The drum is playing loud

    Am               Em
My father won’t take action 'cause

   C            D
My father he is proud

   Am               Em
My mother moans and locks herself

C                G
Into her private room

   Am                 Em
My brothers cry but I won't lie

    C               D
I'm not bothered by gloom
D C G D (x2) [Verse 4]
     D                   C
When weighted down with wondering

    G                 D
The who, the why, the how

D                     C
Dreamland is where it all began

    G                D
And where we heading now
[Chorus]
D             C
When I have a problem

  G                 D
I know just what to do

  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while

G                   D
Something will come through

  D             C
I go to bed and dream a while

G                   D
Something will come through
