Tracy Chapman – For A Dream (Guitar)

  D
I picture us together

C              G
Framed in gold leaf

       D
On the mantle with the others

        C         G
One big happy family

         Bm
But that snapshot can't be found

            C            G
And I don't trust my memory

       C             G
It's alright, it's alright

      D
For a dream

   D
I imagine we are gathered

         C                   G
But this time not dressed in black

        D
There's laughing and smiling

    C               G
Not stabbing in the back

         Bm
But it's too good to be true

        C                      G
And too bad I still recall the screams

           C             G
But it's alright, it's alright

      D
For a dream

D
I keep half the pictures

C            G
Mostly in my mind

D
Mama dressed in white

       C                   G
Ripped where she held your hand

    Bm
Showing no signs of age

              C                G
Just slightly frayed along the seam

           C             G
But it's alright, it's alright

      D
For a dream

       Bm
It's alright

G
All that I can claim

       D
It's alright

    A
And it will have to do

       Bm
It's alright

G
Better than the pain

       D
It's alright

A
Better than the truth

       Bm
It's alright

G
Alright for a dream

       D
It's alright

A
Better than fate and the great scheme

       Em
It's alright

       G
It's alright

    D
For Christmas and for New Year

  C            G
I wish and I resolve

        D
But I'm disappointed by myself

  C             G
Jesus and Santa Claus

  Bm
I want to believe

           C                     G
She's been saved and he's been redeemed

           C N.C.        G N.C.
And it's alright, it's alright

      D N.C.
For a dream
