Intro Am , Cmaj7, Am7 X2
Am
I dreamt I was in heaven
and I was sitting in a bar
Fmaj7
With all the other angels,
Am7
you were smoking a cigar
Am
One hand on your hip
and one foot on a chair
Fmaj7
And a golden ostrich feather
Am7
that was planted in your hair
Am, Cmaj7, Em7 X2
Am
And if I really were an angel,
I'd float over your bed
Fmaj7
Each night a different dream of me
Am7
I'd plant inside your head
Am
And if I were an angel,
I tell you what I'd do
Fmaj7
I'd appear in a vision
Dsus2
and I'd give my wings to you

Am
I dreamt you were a genie
and I found you in the sand
Fmaj7
And you were trapped inside a bottle
Am7
and I held you in my hand
Am
And you said you'd grant me wishes
if you were ever freed
Fmaj7
I said "an empty head when I go to bed
Dsus2
is all I ever need"
( bass string -3-2-0) Emx2,Cmaj7,Dsus2,Emx2,Cmaj7,Asus2
Am
So I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word
Fmaj7 Am7
And you laughed the cruellist laugh that I had ever heard
Am
And you said "about these wishes, it's too late to decide"
Fmaj7 Dsus2
But I remembered that it was my dream... so I put you back inside
3-2-Emx2 3-2-0 Fmaj7 Dsus2 X2 (see note above)
Am
I dreamt I was a pirate
aboard a pirate ship
Fmaj7
And for a hand I had a hook
Am7
and for a heart I had a whip
Am
And you were trapped inside your bottle
and I kept you down below
Fmaj7
And you begged me to release you...
Dsus2
but I would not let you go
3-2- Am X2 Cmaj7, Dsus2 X2
Am
One night I was awoken
while we were out at sea
Fmaj7
By a floating appartion
Am7
glowing incadescently
Am
And I could see you clearly
as all around was black
Fmaj7
And you tore off both your wings, said
Dsus2
"Hey now you can have them back!"
