Verse 1:
Fmaj7 Em7
A million old soldiers will fade away
Dm7 E7 Am
But a dream goes on forever
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Em7
I'm left standing here I've got nothing to say
Dm7 G7 C
All is silent within my dream

Verse 2:
A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by
But the time has stopped in my dream

Bridge : Gm C7 F Em
We all have our everyday hopes and fears
Dm7 G7 C
and you'll find no exception in me
Gm C7 F Em
but that doesn't get me thru a sea of tears
A A7 Dm7 G7
over life's biggest tragedy

Verse 3 : Fmaj7 Em
You're so long ago and so far away
F E7 Am
But my dream lives on forever
C7 F Em
I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
Dm7 G7 C
For without it there is no dream

[repeat intro]

Verse 4 : Fmaj7 Em
You're so far away and so long ago
Dm7 E7 Am
But my dream lives on forever
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Em
How much I loved you you'll never know
Dm7 G7 C
Till you join me within my dream

Coda:
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Em
How much I loved you you'll never know
Dm7 G7 C
Till you join me within my dream

BTW: This is a jazzy keyboard tune, so the idea that the above
fairly primitive guitar representation of it does it justice
is more than slightly presumptious. I tried, anyway. :)
