F         G7
     A simple man had the strangest dream

          F                               G7
     He stood in a garden of flowers that overlooked the sea

           F           G7            F            G7         F  /  /  C  G7
     And there sailing by were his truth and his lies going home

            F               G7
     While all around the sweetest sounds

       F                                     G7
     Filled the air with love they made his senses pound

         F             G7       F                  G7         F
     He saw with open mind his life turn with the tide to go home

      F  /  C  /  Dm  /  C  /  F  /  C  /  Dm  /  C  /

      F                              G7
     Memories of youth had passed before

      F                               G7               F           G7
     He and he alone could count the score for he was free he was free

               F              G7
     This was his last dream

           F            G7
     Such melodies are made to sing

          F                              G7
     The mellow sounds within a thousand violins

       F               G7          F          G7             F     G7
     Caught upon the breeze they play in harmony sweet harmony

         F               G7
     At last he knew his act was through

          F                                      G7
     With no applause and no encores though the house was full

          F                G7   F               G7                  F
     So bring the curtain down lay him in the ground for he's gone home

      F  /  C  /  Dm  /  C  /  F  /  C  /  Dm  /  C  /

      F                              G7

      F                               G7              F          G7
     He and he alone could count the score now he is free he is free

               F              G7
     This was his last dream
