[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm Sittin' in a Hong Kong bar Dm Sweet dreams of you darling Dm Ah when we were sweet sixteen Dm Mama makin' love in the belly of an old freight train Dm Life was so simple and easy Dm Oh the sun went down Dm You took care of the chill darlin' Dm One on one living on the track
[Verse 2]
Dm Then you felt like movin' away, Dm Lord now you didn't stand and stare Dm You felt like movin' and leavin' darlin' Dm Didn't I treat you fair
[Chorus]
Dm It's all right now darlin' Dm It's alright now darlin' Dm Cause things have gotta change
[Verse 3]
Dm Makin' love to you darlin' Dm Was like moonlight on the shore Dm Makin' love to you darlin' Dm Was like the tide clawing at the shore Dm And when I dream about you darlin' Dm Lord I long to be the sand Dm I need those sweet dreams of you mama Dm That's the only thing this poor little man can be tonight Dm I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night Dm I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night
[Verse 4]
Dm Remember the house we were going to build Dm On the far side of the hill Dm Whatever happened to those dreams of me mama Dm Don't dreamers ever win Dm But darlin' when I think about you Dm Honey Lord I shed some tears Dm Got my pillows wrapped between my legs Dm And I think I love you every day
[Chorus]
Dm It's all right now mama Dm It's alright now mama Dm It's all right now darlin' Dm It's alright now mama Dm It's alright now mama
[Guitar Solo]
Dm
[Verse 5]
Dm Sittin' in a Hong Kong Bar Dm Dreamin' about the way things used to be Dm Ah when I first made love to you darlin' Dm Back riding in the belly of an old freight train Dm Then you felt like moving Dm And I paid your fare home Dm Then you felt like leaving Dm You could not stand and stay
[Chorus]
Dm It's alright now mama Dm It's alright Dm It's alright Dm It's alright Dm It's alright
[Bridge]
Dm I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night Dm I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night
[Outro]
