Intro: C C Csus4 Csus2 C C Csus4 Csus2 I keep having C Csus4 Csus2 C dreams of pioneers and pirate ships and Bob Dylan Csus4 Csus2 C Of people wrapped up tight in the thing that'll kill them Csus4 Csus2 C Of being trapped in a lift plunging straight to the bottom Csus4 Csus2 Am Of open seas and ways of life we've forgotten G I keep having dreams Am F Amy worked in a bar in Exeter G Am I went back to her house and I slept beside her Am F She woke up screaming in the middle of the night G Am Terrified of her own insides Am F Dreams of pirate ships and Patty Hearst G Am Breaking through a life of a rehearse Am F She can't remember which came first G Am The house the home or the terrible thirst G She keeps having dreams F G And on the worst days G C F When it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnes F G C She's got her cowboy boots and her keys on the bed stand F So she can always run F She could get up and shower in half an hour F Am She'd be gone Am F I keep having dreams of things I need to do G Am Of waking up and not following through Am F It feels like I haven't slept at all G Am When I wake to a silence and she's facing the wall Am F Posters of Dylan and Hemingway G Am An antique cupboard ... sailor's escape Am F She says you just can't live this way G Am I close my eyes and never say G I'm still having dreams F G And on the worst days G C F When it feels like life weighs ten thousand tons F G C I sleep with my passport, one eye on the back door F So I can always run Fm I could get up and shower in half an hour Am I'd be gone Am And come morning I am disappeared C G Just an imprint on the bed sheets Dm Am And by the roadside with my thumb out C G a car pulls up and Bob's driving Dm Am So I climb in we don't say a word C G As we pull off into the sunrise Dm Am And these rivers of tarmac C G Are like arteries 'cross the country Dm We are blood cells Am Alive in C The blood stream G and the beating heart of the country Dm Am We are electric pulses C G In pathways of the sleeping soul of the country Dm Am We are electric pulses C G In pathways of the sleeping soul of the country Dm We are electric Am C In the sleeping soul of the country G -the sleeping soul of the country- Outro: Dm Am C G F
for the C, I just played a C chord and an Am chord fingerings at the same time.

I hear it as a Cdim7. I’ve got the Es at 4447 and Cdim7 at 5656. Also, I like the sound of a Dbm6, so the verse goes:
2220 4222 2120 2322
4447 5656 4447 3444
Yeah, i think the C should be Cdim! That sounds good to my ear, at least 🙂
The “C” on this line just doesn’t sound correct when I play it.
E C
The world could show nothing to me,
Is it just me?
I agree, Ewan, it sounds dreadful to me.
i tried to find an alternative chord for the unappealing ‘C’, although I am playing this on piano and i’ve moved it to +3 (so it is my range for singing) and I think a a/cm chord works perfectly on piano, I’m just not sure how to adapt this chord for the ukulele..
for the original key, try am with a c base 😀 hope this helps!!
When I heard the C, it also didn’t sound right to me. Instead I played Am. Sounds much better. Hope this helps.
