Strum B D

G D/F# Em7 A D
If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream E7 (no top F#) D D/C# A Bm
And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are G D/F# Em7 A D
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream E7 (no top F#) D D/C# A Bm
To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star G D/F# Em7 A D
I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever E7 (no top F#) D D/C#
And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary A Bm
hiding under your bed G D/F# Em7 A D
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever E7 (no top F#) D D/C# A Bm
And never leave 'til I leave you with a sweet dream in your bed

I'm gonna watch you shine D
Gonna watch you grow G
Gonna paint a sign D
So you'll always know G D
As long as one and one is two


G D D/E
There could never be a father Bm A Bm
Who loved his daughter more than I love you


D
Trust your intuition


It's just like goin' fishin' E7(no top F#) D D/C# A Bm
You cast your line and hope you get a bite G D/F# Em7 A
But you don't need to waste your time

D
Worryin' about the market place


Try to help the human race

E7(no top F#)D D/C# A Bm
Struggling to survive its harshest night

@mumd2003,

Yeah, I know it will be good, and worth your while. Your song selections are always perfect for you too. You choose the time when it's right for you to do it.

All the best.

[mumd2003]

@iconoclastKM .you give me courage to do so. never thought of myself as lead vocalist.will try when i get a chance thanks.

@mumd2003

If I'm not mistaken, you're not using as many vocal layers on this one. Is that right? Because your vocals sound a bit more clear here and a bit more natural.

I'd love to hear you do straight vocals, no effects, on one of these. Seems you've got a nice enough singing voice to pull something that off nicely, with just your fine guitar playing to accompany you. Just food for thought, mumd.

[mumd2003]

@iconoclastKM so kind of you.  Thanks much.

[iconoclastKM]
