More chords by Burton Cummings

Genre: pop, rock, folk


Hi there! This is my first tab on ultimate guitar,

so I hope it's right and it can be enjoyed.

Just a couple observations: I know this song was written by David Forman,

I personally don't like it and I've hearing the Up, Close and Alone version

my whole life. I think Burton Cummings did a great work with his cover,

that's why I'm placing this song here and so the lyrics of that version.

(it's always with the same chords, there is a change in the chorus but

it's in the timing)

Intro:
Eb Bb Ab Cm

1)
Eb Bb
When I was a boy I dreamed of Phillip Marlowe
Ab Cm
He took me as his partner took me as his friend
Eb Bb
Gave me his fedora gave me shotgun fever
Ab Cm
Took me as his partner to the end

1)

When I was a child I dreamed I was a jeweler

With a family business that was free and clear

Selling golden earrings to Mrs. Mickey Mantle

Trying to be gentle while I stuck it in her ear

2) Chorus (these are the same, just start a bit earlier)
Eb Bb
The dream of a child, the song of a man
Ab Cm
The key and the time are at his command
Eb Bb
The dream of a child the song of a man
Ab Cm
The key and the time are at his command

1)

When I was a boy, I dreamed I saved my sister

From the Rosicrucian's for the love of God

I threw myself among them butchering their leaders

Hit them where they least expect it in the name of God
