John O Dreams chords ** Bill Caddick 1976 (Melody based on Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 "The Pathetique")* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_O%27Dreams G
G                              C        G
When midnight comes and people homeward tread

G                              C       G
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed

G              D      C               Em
Home comes the rover,   his journey's over

G             Em                C      D
 Yield up the night time to old John O'Dreams

G             Em                C      G
 Yield up the night time to old John O'Dreams

G                           C     G
Across the hill the sun has gone astray 

G                         C       G
Tomorrow's cares are many dreams away

G             D      C              Em
The stars are flying  your candle's dying

G             Em              C      D
 Yield up the darkness to old John O'Dreams

G             Em              C      G
 Yield up the darkness to old John O'Dreams

G                          C         G
Both man and master in the night are one

G                         C      G
All things equal when the day is done.

G                  D          C                   Em
The Prince and the ploughman,   the slave and the freeman

G               Em             C      D
 All find their comfort in old John O'Dreams

G               Em             C      G
 All find their comfort in old John O'Dreams.

G                                   C       G
When sleep it comes the dreams come running clear

G                           C          G
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here

G          D      C            Em
Sleep is a river,   flow on forever

G             Em                 C      D
 And for your boatman choose old John O'Dreams

G             Em                 C      G
 And for your boatman choose old John O'Dreams
