Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's Dream (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan)
Capo III
I'm pretty sure these are the correct lyrics. I also tried to illustrate the elongated syllables and pauses.
Because of this weird meter, I think it is actually rather hard to sing correctly.
The A in the second line does'nt feel necessary to me, so check for yourselves if you need it or not.
Since this is my first tab, please comment heavily.
While riding on a train going west,
( )
I fell asleep for to take my rest,
Iiiiii dreamed a dream that made me sad,
Concerning myself ... and the first few friends I had.
With half damp eyes I stared to the room,
( )
Where my friends and I spent many'n afternoon,
Wheeeeeere we together weathered many a storm,
Laughing and singing ... 'till the early hours of the morn.
By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung,
( )
Our words was told, our songs was sung;
Weeeeee longed for nothing and were satisfied,
Joking and talking ... about theee wooorld outside.
With hungry hearts through the heat and cold,
( )
We never much thought we could get very old;
Weeeeee thought we could sit forever in fun,
And our chances really ... was a million to one.
(HARMONICA PART)
As easy it was to tell black from white,
( )
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right;
An' our choices they was few, so the thought never hit,
That the one road we traveled ... woul'ever shatter or split.
Ah many a year has passed and gone,
( )
Many' gamble has been lost and won;
And many a road taken by many a first friend,
And each one ... I've never seen again.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
( )
That we could sit simply in that room again;
Teeeeeeen thousand dollars at the drop of a haaaaaat,
I'd give it all gladly ... if our lives could be like that.
