Procol Harum – Dead Mans Dream (Ukulele)

Bbm           F      Fm               Eb       
As I lay down dying,   a floor for my bed  

Bbm             F         Fm        Eb     Cm7
And a bundle of newspaper under my head  

Ebm7       B         Ab7             Cm/G
I dreamed a dream, as strange as could be  

Cdim     Bbm/Db  C               Fm bass: F E F G     
Concerning myself,  and somebody like me  

Bbm               F  Fm                 Eb
We were in some city,   the stranger and me  

Bbm             F     Fm               Eb    Cm7 Ebm
The houses were open, and the streets empty  

                  B   /A  Ab              Cm
The windows were bare, and the pavements dirty  

F#o             Bbm  C7              Fm (Bass F,E,F,G)
I asked where I was;    my companion ignored me  

Bbm                        F#m7/A
We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone  

     E/G#                  F#m                   
The graves were disturbed, and the coffins wide open  

E                          Bm/D                    
And the corpses were rotten,   yet each one was living  

      C#m                          Bm        A      G F#5
Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling  

Bbm                 F#m7/A   
I cried out in fear,       but my voice had left me  

    E/G#              F#m
My legs were deformed,              yet I moved quite freely  

E             bass(E,F#,G#,A,B,C#) Bm/D                   E        
 My head was on fire,                  yet my hands were icy  

 C#m                                  Bm             
And everywhere light, yet darkness engulfed me  

Bbm            F          Fm           Eb
I managed to scream and woke from my slumber  

Bbm             F         Fm        Eb           Cm7  Ebm7
I thought of my dream and lay there and wondered  

             B    Ab             Cm
Where had I been? What could it mean?  

F#dim               Bbm
It was dark in the deathroom
