To play exactly like the recording, play in Drop D tuning.


     D         G    D
Oh I know, I'm only dreaming
           C    G             D
'Cos I'll awake and you'll be gone
       D          G        D
And my tears will still be streaming
      C   G        D 
As my broken heart beats on
      D         G    D
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming
         C         G        D
But I’ll just keep dreaming on
       D  G            D   
I will dream about the pleasures
        C    G              D 
That we shared in days gone by


And I'll remember and I'll treasure
Every kiss and your kind eyes
And I will dream that you still hold me
In your arms as you did then
And I recall each thing you told me
Hear your voice as I did then
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming
But I'll dream and I will too


I'll be here and I'll be waiting
And I will dream of your return
Some will say I'm being foolish
While some will say that I'm just blind
And that I want to face what the truth is
That you are no longer mine
But I will dream, your brave retallion
To some sweet day, to their surprise


You will say your love's still burning,
You'll dry each tear drop from my eyes

But I know, I'm only dreaming,
Cause I’ll awake and be alone.
And my tears will still be streaming,
And you will still be just as gone.

Yes I know I’m only dreaming,
But I must keep dreaming...on
