This is my first time learning a song by ear so I'm not 100% sure of these chords.
The timing is a little weird in this song so I tried to position the chords as
accurately as possible.
Enjoy!
C Am
And I had a dream
C G
About my old school
C Am C G
And she was there all pink and gold and glittery
C Am
I threw my arms around her legs
C G C Am
Came to weeping, came to weeping
C Am
Came to weeping, came to weeping
C Am
Then I heard your voice as clear as day,
C G C Am
And you told me I should concentrate,
C G
It was all so strange,
C Am
And so surreal,
C G C Am
That a ghost should be so practical.
C G
Only if for a night
C Am C G
And the only solution was to stand and fight,
C Am
And my body was loosened,
C G
I almost saved your life,
C Am
But you came over me like some holy life,
C G C
And I know the whole story,
Am
You're the only light
C G
Only if for a night
C Am C G
The grass was so green against my new clothes,
C Am C G
And I did cartwheels in your honour, dancing on tiptoes
C Am C G
My own secret ceremonials before the service began,
C Am C G
In the graveyard, doing handstands.
C Am
Then I heard your voice as clear as day,
C G C Am
And you told me I should concentrate,
C G
It was all so strange,
C Am
And so surreal,
