Chords

[Intro] A D A [Verse 1]
      D
I'm a dreamer by nature

G                        D
And I've always been tryin'

                             E               A
To dream myself out of this world that I'm in

       D                        G          D
In my dreams I escape all the troubles around

        D
And it hasn't cost a penny

          A              D    A7
For the pleasures I've found
[Chorus]
D
What is the part

G
That I'll play today

A                        G           D
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?

      D
I've played many parts

             G
And I'm the first to agree

          A                                         D A
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
[Verse 2]
       D
I'm a dreamer by nature

G                 D
And I've always been

 D                             A7 A
Looking for something not there

    D
My financial position

G                      D
Don't bother my dreams

           D
'Cause in fairy tale money

        A              D A
I'm my own millionaire
[Chorus]
D
What is the part

G
That I'll play today

A                        G           D
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?

      D
I've played many parts

             G
And I'm the first to agree

           A                                        D A
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
[Verse 3]
D
I'm a rich man in dreams

       G                D
But in real life I've hid

         D                        E          A
From the fact that I've got me a wife and a kid

     D
If I lose what I've got

G                   D
Then they lose it too

        D                            A           D A
Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do
[Chorus]
D
What is the part

G
That I'll play today

A                        G           D
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?

      D
I've played many parts

             G
And I'm the first to agree

           A                                       
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
