[Verse 1]
Am  G           C
Way back on the radio dial
  F         C           G
A fire got lit inside a bright-eyed child
Am    G         C
Every note just wrapped around your soul
     F               C               G
From steel guitar to Memphis all the way to rock and roll

[Chorus]
F    C   Am             G
Whoa oh, I can hear 'em playing
F              C            Am             G
I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar
F    C   Am             G
Woah oh, I can hear 'em saying
F       C             G                 C
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart

[Verse 2]
Am  G    C
Downtown where I used to wander
F             C                 G
Old enough to get there but too young to get inside
Am G          C
I would stand out on the sidewalk
F             C             G
Listen to the music playing every Friday night

[Chorus]
F    C   Am             G
Whoa oh, I can hear 'em playing
F              C            Am             G
I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar
F    C   Am             G
Woah oh, I can hear 'em saying
F       C             G                 C
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart

[Verse 3]
Am   G      C
Some dreams stay with you forever
F         C                  G
Drag you around and lead you back to where you were
Am   G      C
Some dreams keep on getting better
F            C               G
Got to keep believing if you want to know for sure

[Chorus]
F    C   Am             G
Whoa oh, I can hear 'em playing
F              C            Am             G
I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar
F    C   Am             G
Woah oh, I can hear 'em saying
F       C             G                 C
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
F    C   Am             G
Whoa oh, I can hear 'em playing
F              C            Am             G
I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar
F    C   Am             G
Woah oh, I can hear 'em saying
F       C             G                 C
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
F       C             G
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your ...heart
