Intro: Em D

Verse 1:
G                       D
There you stand in your dungarees
        Em                  D
Looking all grown up and so very pleased
         G                             D
When you write your poems they have so much to say
         Em                            D
When you speak your dreams it takes my breath away

Pre-Chorus 1:
    C
You know I want to be a ball player
  G       D        Em   Em7
a regular slugging fool
    C                    D
But both our dreams must wait awhile
  C      D      G
Until we finish school

Chorus:
D      G
And so you and I
             C
We watch our years go by
             D
We watch our sweet dreams fly
     Em       Bm    Am
Far away, but maybe someday


  G
I don't know when
            C
But we will dream again
             D
And we'll be happy then
         Em        Bm      Am     D
Till our time just drifts away

Verse 2:
   G                    D
There you stand in your wedding dress
    Em                   D
You're so beautiful that I must confess
    G                    D
I'm so proud you have chosen me
   Em                    D
When a doctor is what you want to be

Pre-Chorus 2:
  C
You know I want to be a painter, girl
  G      D       Em  Em7
a real artistic snob
  C                 D
But I guess we'll have our children first
  C       D          G
You'll make a home, I'll get a job

Chorus:
 D        G
And so you and I
                C
We'll watch our years go by
                    D
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly
   Em        Bm        Am
Far away, but maybe someday


G
I don't know when
              C
But we will dream again
              D
And we'll be happy then
  Em           Bm            Am  D
Till our time just drifts away

Chorus:
Em              D
  Listen to the seasons passing
 Cadd9          Cmaj7
  Listen to the wind blow
Em              D
  Listen to the children laughing
Cmaj7             C      D
  Where do broken dreams go?

Verse 3:
   G                    D
There you stand in your tailored suit
    Em                     D
So many years gone by, but you're still so cute
   G                    D
We take the car to go and meet the bus
    Em                   D
When our grandchildren come to visit us

Pre-Chorus 3:
    C
You say you should have been a ballerina, babe
    G         D           Em       Em7
There are songs I should have sung
  C                   D
But I guess our dreams have come and gone
   C            D            G
You've gotta dream when you are young

Chorus:
D        G
And so you and I
                  C
We've watched our years go by
                   D
We've watched our sweet dreams fly
  Em            Bm        Am
Far away, but maybe someday


  G
I don't know when
             C
But we will dream again
              D
And we'll be happy then
 Em      Bm            Am  D
Till our time just drifts away

Biography

Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin’s debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single “Taxi”. His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single “Cat’s in the Cradle”. He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.
