Dead Mans Dream

(intro) Dm  E7    Cm     Ebm  D D7

Bbm           F      Fm               Eb
As I lay down dying    a floor for my bed
Bbm             F         Fm        Eb     Cm7
And a bundle of newspaper under my head
Ebm7       B         Ab7             Cm/G
I dreamed a dream  as strange as could be
Cdim     Bbm/Db  C               Fm (bass) F E F G
Concerning myself   and somebody like me

( Ab Eb  Ab Gm Eb Bb/D Dbdim )

Bbm               F  Fm                 Eb
We were in some city    the stranger and me
Bbm             F     Fm               Eb    Cm7 Ebm
The houses were open  and the streets empty
                  B   A  Ab              Cm
The windows were bare  and the pavements dirty
F#º             Bbm  C7              Fm (bass) F E F G
I asked where I was;    my companion ignored me

( Ab  F/A  Bbm )

Bbm                        F#m7/A
We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone
     E/G#                  F#m
The graves were disturbed  and the coffins wide open
E                          Bm/D
And the corpses were rotten    yet each one was living
      C#m                          Bm        A      G F#5
Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling

Bbm                 F#m7/A
I cried out in fear        but my voice had left me
    E/G#              F#m
My legs were deformed               yet I moved quite freely
E             (bass) E F# G# A B C# Bm/D                   E
 My head was on fire                   yet my hands were icy

(bass) E F# G A E F# G A

 C#m                                  Bm
And everywhere light  yet darkness engulfed me

( A G F#5 )

(solo on) Dm  E    Cm     D5

Bbm            F          Fm           Eb
I managed to scream and woke from my slumber
Bbm             F         Fm        Eb           Cm7  Ebm7
I thought of my dream and lay there and wondered
             B    Ab             Cm
Where had I been? What could it mean?
F#dim               Bbm
It was dark in the deathroom
