Don't Dream It's Over
Words & Music:
Neil Finn (Crowded House)
You can, of course, sub the
basic chords (D, Bm, A) for the given ones (D7sus2, Bm(add2), A(add2)), but it
is worth learning the more complex barre chords to get the true flavor of this
song. They are actually very easy
to play.
INTRO:
A(add2) D7sus2 G(add2) [vamp]
[chords:
A(add2) = 5 5 7 7 5 5
| D7sus2 = x 5 7 5 5 5 |
G(add2) = x 5 7 5 8 5]
A(add2) [5 5 7 7 5 5]
F#(add2) [2
2 4 4 2 2]
There is freedom within, there
is freedom without,
G(2)
F#m
Try and catch the deluge in a
paper cup.
A(add2)
F#(add2)
There's a battle ahead, many
battles are lost,
G(3)
F#m
But you'll never see the end
of the road while you're traveling with me.

Hey, now! Hey, now! Don't dream it's over.

Hey, now! Hey, now! When the world comes in.

They come, they come to build
a wall between us
G
A [on beat 4]
You know they won't win.
Now, I'm towing my car,
there's a hole in the roof.
My possessions are causing me
suspicion but there's no proof.
In the paper today, tales of
war and of waste; but you turn right over to the TV page.

Now, I'm walking again to the
beat of a drum.
I'm counting the steps to the
door of your heart.
Only shadows ahead barely
clearing the roof.
Get to know the feeling of
liberation and relief.
