Van Halen - Dreams
Originally in C, I play in C an octave down, and it’s
*still* a little too high. Insane.
Start with a slow approximation of the intro riff
Cadd9FAmG
Fsus2Am7
Csus4→C→Csus2
Now fast, with excessive suspensions
I play only one of these, or play both but double-time
CC/EFG
CC/EAmG
AmWorld turns black and F6white
Gsus2Pictures in an empty Amroom
Your F6love starts fallin’ Gsus2down
Better chAmange your tune
Yeah, you F6reach for the goldGsus2en ring
AmReach for the sky
Baby, just F6spread your Gsus2wings
Not super-faithful to the original chords here
And get G/ChighCer anG/Cd hiCgher
Straight Amup we’ll Emclimb Em7F
We’ll get G/ChighCer anG/Cd hiCgher
Leave it aAmll beEmhind Em7F
AmRun, run, run aF6way
Like a Gsus2train runnin’ off the Amtrack
Got the F6truth being left beGsus2hind
Fall betAmween the cracks
F6Standin’ on broken dGsus2reams
Never lAmosin’ sight, ah
Well just F6spread your wGsus2ings
We’ll get G/ChighCer anG/Cd hiCgher
Straight Amup we’ll Emclimb Em7F
We’ll get G/ChighCer anG/Cd hiCgher
Leave it aAmll beEmhind Em7FGsus4
So baby Cadd9dry Cyour Feyes
Save aAmll the tears you’ve Gcried
Oh, Fsus2that’s what Am7dreams are mCsus4ade CofCsus2
‘Cause Em7we beFlong in a woAmrld that must be Gstrong
Oh, Fsus2that’s what Am7dreams are mCsus4ade oCfCsus2
Crazy out-of-place shredding here, I just repeat the
second part of the intro
CC/EFG
Yeah, we’ll get G/ChighCer anG/Cd hiCgher
StrAmaight up Emwe’ll climbEm7F
G/CHighCer anG/Cd hiAmgher

Oh, Fsus2that’s what Am7dreams are mCsus4ade CofCsus2
‘Cause Em7we beFlong in a woAmrld that must be Gstrong
Oh, Fsus2that’s what Am7dreams are mCsus4ade oCfCsus2
Another crazy out-of-place shredding here, I just repeat the
second part of the intro
CC/EFG
