Intro Bm , Cmaj7, Bm7 X2
Bm
I dreamt I was in heaven
and I was sitting in a bar
Gmaj7
With all the other angels,
Bm7
you were smoking a cigar
Bm
One hand on your hip
and one foot on a chair
Gmaj7
And a golden ostrich feather
Bm7
that was planted in your hair
Bm, Cmaj7, Em7 X2
Bm
And if I really were an angel,
I'd float over your bed
Gmaj7
Each night a different dream of me
Bm7
I'd plant inside your head
Bm
And if I were an angel,
I tell you what I'd do
Gmaj7
I'd appear in a vision
Esus2
and I'd give my wings to you

Bm
I dreamt you were a genie
and I found you in the sand
Gmaj7
And you were trapped inside a bottle
Bm7
and I held you in my hand
Bm
And you said you'd grant me wishes
if you were ever freed
Gmaj7
I said "an empty head when I go to bed
Esus2
is all I ever need"
( bass string -3-2-0) Emx2,Cmaj7,Esus2,Emx2,Cmaj7,Asus2
Bm
So I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word
Gmaj7 Bm7
And you laughed the cruellist laugh that I had ever heard
Bm
And you said "about these wishes, it's too late to decide"
Gmaj7 Esus2
But I remembered that it was my dream... so I put you back inside
3-2-Emx2 3-2-0 Gmaj7 Esus2 X2 (see note above)
Bm
I dreamt I was a pirate
aboard a pirate ship
Gmaj7
And for a hand I had a hook
Bm7
and for a heart I had a whip
Bm
And you were trapped inside your bottle
and I kept you down below
Gmaj7
And you begged me to release you...
Esus2
but I would not let you go
3-2- Bm X2 Cmaj7, Esus2 X2
Bm
One night I was awoken
while we were out at sea
Gmaj7
By a floating appartion
Bm7
glowing incadescently
Bm
And I could see you clearly
as all around was black
Gmaj7
And you tore off both your wings, said
Esus2
"Hey now you can have them back!"
