Don't Dream it's Over (Neil Finn)

Solo acoustic version of the Crowded House hit from a Princess Diana tribute album. The opening chord (D?) was a happy accident and the rest followed nicely.



Intro - D? / Bm / G / F#

(D?) There is freedom within, (Bm) there is freedom without (G)
Try to catch the deluge in a paper (F#) cup
(D?) There's a battle ahead, (Bm) many battles are lost (G)
But you'll never see the end of the road while you're (F#) travelling with me

(Chorus)
(G) Hey now, hey (A) now, don't (D) dream it's (Bm) over
Hey (G) now, hey  (A) now, when the (D) world comes (Bm) in
They (G) come, they (A) come (D) to build a wall be-(Bm)-tween us (G)
We know they won't win  G / /  F#//

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page

(Chorus)

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead, barely clear in the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

(G) Hey now, hey (A) now, don't (Bm) dream
Hey (G) now, hey  (A) now, when the (Bm) world comes in
They (G) come, they (A) come (Bm) to build a wall between us (G)
We know they won't win (G) (A) (Bm)
Don't ever let them win (G) (A) (Bm)
Don't ever let them win (G) (A) (Bm)
(G) Hey now, hey (A) now (Bm)
(G) (A) (Bm)
(G) Hey now hey (A).............ey
(D? arpeggio and hold) Now
