Chords

As recorded by Van Morrison (From the 2021 Album LATEST RECORD PROJECT VOLUME 1) [Chorus]
C N.C.       Am
  Western Man has no plan

C       G
 'Cause he became complacent

C             Am
 Stopped believing in himself

C                      G
Let others steal his rewards

C
 While he was dreaming

C               Am
 While he was dreaming

                C
Others were scheming

            G
Doing deals behind his back

C                Am               C
 Now Western Man is adrift, and under attack

G                       C
What happened in between?
[Verse 1]
            F
Now there’s no other bite of the cherry

                     C
Unless he’s prepared to fight

                       F
Start on a new path to freedom

        G          C
New path to freedom

                  Am
The horse has bolted from the stables

C                G
 Lunatics have taken over the farm

C           Am                       C
 Caretakers have taken over the main house

        G                           C
Plan to start meetings in the forest

      Am              C
Going back to the way it was

         G                 C
Now just seems near impossible

        Am            C
Western Man has no plan

                  G                   C
They stole it while, while he was dreaming

            F                          C
Now there’s no other bite, bite of the cherry

                        F
Unless he’s prepared to fight

G                   C
Start on a new path to freedom

          Am
Horse has bolted from the stables

C              G               C
 Lunatics have taken over the farm

                Am         C                G
Caretakers have taken over the main building

C                  Am
The governors have gone over the wall

C             G
 Plan to start meetings in the forest

C          Am              C                     G
 Not going back, not going back to the way it was
[Chorus]
C        Am
 Western Man has no plan

C           G
 Since he became complacent

C                        Am
 Stopped believing in himself

        C                  G
And let others steal his rewards

             C
While he was dreaming
[Outro]
             Am
While he was dreaming

C             G
 While he was dreaming

C             Am
 While he was dreaming

C             G
 While he was dreaming

C             Am
 While he was dreaming

C             G
 While he was dreaming

C            Am
 Others were scheming

C                     G
Scheming while he was dreaming

C            Am
 Others were scheming

C                   G
While he was dreaming

C         Am
 Others were scheming

C            G   C
While he was dreaming
