Ralph Mctell - In The Dreamtime Chords & Tabs

    C        G        C      F    C            Am       Dm       G       
The scent of smoke on desert wind, beneath the southern cross,
C     G          C      F    C        Am      Dm      G
Far beyond where time begins, and generations lost.
C              F                C
I could not be further from you now,
     Am        F      G
With both feet on the ground. 
           C         G          C
But in the dreamtime souls take flight, 
    F    C      G      C
And I am closer to you now.
   C        G      C       F     C          Am       Dm       G
If I should lay me down to sleep, by forest green or shining lake,
C       G        C       F     C           Am      G     C         
I could arise to find it gone, to take for granted my mistake.
    C              F                C
Yet I could not be further from you now,
     Am        F      G
With both feet on the ground. 
           C         G          C
But in the dreamtime souls take flight, 
    F    C      G      C
And I am closer to you now.
C         G       C       F       C      Am      Dm     G
Mountains crumble forests vanish, seeds awakened by the fire,
C     G           C          F        C          Am      G        C   
Water air and the earth have born them and I can feel my own ones near.
    C              F                C
Yet I could not be further from you now,
     Am        F      G
With both feet on the ground. 
           C         G         C
But in the dreamtime souls take flight, 
    F    C      G      C
And I am closer to you now.
C          G       C      F    C         Am        Dm     G
Flames are dancing in the fire, timeless songs are on the air,
C      G     C            F      C            Am       G    C
In the wilderness they’re crying, but there’s laughter everywhere.
    C              F                C
Yet I could not be further from you now,
     Am        F      G
With both feet on the ground. 
           C         G          C
But in the dreamtime souls take flight, 
    F    C      G      C
And I am closer to you now.
