Verse 1
     G               Em             C                D
I caught a ride on the dreamland express last night
      G                  Em          C           D
I was sailing on an ocean of blue,
 G                 Em                   C          D                       G     Em       C

Verse 2
G               Em               C                  D
I said, “Come over here, baby, let me look in your eyes…
G                 Em         C             D
Let me see the very heart of you.”
G                  Em                C                    D           G       Em     C
And I couldn’t believe it, to concede that my dream had come true

Verse 3

She said, “Hey there, sweet daddy, everything’s all right…
For miles there’s not a telephone line…
There’s not a soul to disturb us, don’t be nervous, just come and be mine”

Chorus:
D/F#                         D      G
Let me be the end of your rainbow,
D/F#                        D   G
Let me be the stars up above,
D/F#                             D    G
Let me be the one that you long for darling,
C                   D                   G             Em
Let me be the one that you love      (woh oh)
C                    D                  G
Let me be the one that you love

Verse 4

Well it’s 4 in the morning, honey I can’t sleep
I can’t seem to get you out of my mind,
I keep tossing and turning, yearning for the sun to shine.

I’d like to send you a ticket on the dreamland express,
And take you far away with me,
I’ve got a vision of heaven, and you’re living there with me.
