Dm/E - XX2031 (you are walking up from Dm to F)

Capo 1


G
Volunteer behind the desk, said son you better get some rest
G                                           C
There's plenty of these sleepless nights to come
    G
I'm guessing this must be your first, they say it's gonna be a girl
          Dm                F           C
You're in trouble son, it's two against one
    G                                       F             C
But that first time you hear her cry, it'll all become so clear
Dm                     Dm/E          F
Dreams aren't just for holding, it's something you can hear


Chorus 1:
         C
It's the first steps that she takes
          Am
The first time you hear her say
   F                                       C    G
Oh I love you daddy, it takes your breath away
         C
A yellow bus on her first day
        Am 
Singing in the Christmas play
Dm             F               G      Dm         Dm/E    F     
Jumping in the leaves you just raked, that's the sound a dream makes


He walked out from behind the desk, straightened up his cotton vest
Pulled his wallet out as he sat down
Took a picture out and smiled, said this one here's my first grandchild
She loves to ride around with grandpa into town
And just when you think a quiet house is where the story ends
Your baby has a baby and the dream begins again


Chorus 2:
It's that knee she's gonna scrape
Tears rolling down her face 
And she'll say grandpa can you make it be okay
When her laughter gives away
Her favorite hiding place
The first time you ever hear her pray, that's the sound a dream makes


When her laughter gives away
Her favorite hiding place
The first time you ever hear her pray, that's the sound, that's the sound a dream makes

That's the sound a dream makes
