Dreamer

Am                      G 
He is down by the riverside 
Dm         Am 
Late one night 
C                G 
He's tryin' to count the stars 
Dm               E   E7 
In each of the signs 

All alone by the riverside 
And time passes by 
Gathering thoughts of the past 
And maybe he'll cry 

           C     G 
He's a dreamer 
              Dm             Am 
And he's fightin' for his life 
        C          G       F 
He's tryin' to understand 
            C     G 
He's a dreamer 
          Dm                Am 
But he wants to carry on 
        C               G         F 
Yet I know he's a lonely man 

So they say he's a madman 
And he don't understand 
But I know that he's tryin' hard 
To act like a man 
All those years he has suffered, my friends 
All those years of pain 
But I don't think he knows for sure 
If those years were in vain
