Intro , , X2

I dreamt I was in heaven

and I was sitting in a bar

With all the other angels,

you were smoking a cigar

One hand on your hip

and one foot on a chair

And a golden ostrich feather

that was planted in your hair

, , X2

And if I really were an angel,

I'd float over your bed

Each night a different dream of me

I'd plant inside your head

And if I were an angel,

I tell you what I'd do

I'd appear in a vision

and I'd give my wings to you

At this point use standard chord positions i.e. Em 022000

Also from the end of the verse descend the bass string before you hit

the and chord i..,-3-2-Emx2, -3-2-0- ,

( 054035)( shape + little finger)

And I'd say "come closer

Fly into the light

And please, please don't be stupid (see note below)

Let me sleep tonight

And please don't be stupid

Let me sleep tonight"

NB. "please don't be stupid

let me sleep tonight" X2

(highlight the bass string run with pick or thumb)

I dreamt you were a genie

and I found you in the sand

And you were trapped inside a bottle

and I held you in my hand

And you said you'd grant me wishes

if you were ever freed

I said "an empty head when I go to bed

is all I ever need"

( bass string -3-2-0) Emx2,,,Emx2,,

So I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word

And you laughed the cruellist laugh that I had ever heard

And you said "about these wishes, it's too late to decide"

But I remembered that it was my dream... so I put you back inside

3-2-Emx2 3-2-0 X2 (see note above)

I dreamt I was a pirate

aboard a pirate ship

And for a hand I had a hook

and for a heart I had a whip

And you were trapped inside your bottle

and I kept you down below

And you begged me to release you...

but I would not let you go

3-2- X2 , X2

One night I was awoken

while we were out at sea

By a floating appartion

glowing incadescently

And I could see you clearly

as all around was black

And you tore off both your wings, said

"Hey now you can have them back!"

Intrument break played over ,, X2

And you said "come closer

Fly into the light

And please, please don't be stupid

Let me sleep tonight"

No you said "please don't be stupid

Let me sleep tonight

tonight ... tonight....tonight" 3-2- Em (once only)
