Just A Dream

sub Am7 for all the Am , and C9 for the C if you want , adds a little to the song . Em G Em G Em G it was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen Em all dressed in white G going to the church that night Em G she had his box of letters in the passenger seat Em G sixpence in a shoe , something borrowed , something blue Am and when the church doors opened up wide she put her veil down G trying to hide the tears oh she just couldn’t believe it Am C she heard trumpets from the military band D and the flowers fell out of her hand G baby why’d you leave me why’d you have to go? Em Am i was counting on forever , now i’ll never know C D i can’t even breathe G it’s like i’m looking from a distance standing in the background Em Am everybody’s saying , he’s not coming home now C D this can’t be happening to me Em G this is just a dream Em G the preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray Em G lord please lift his soul , and heal this hurt Em G then the congregation all stood up and sang Em G the saddEst song that she ever heard Am then they handed her a folded up flag C G and she held on to all she had left of him oh , and what could have been Am C and then the guns rang one last shot D and it felt like a bullet in her heart G baby why’d you leave me why’d you have to go? Em Am i was counting on forever , now i’ll never know C D i can’t even breathe G it’s like i’m looking from a distance standing in the background Em Am everybody’s saying , he’s not coming home now C D this can’t be happening to me G this is just a dream Em Am G C D C oh , baby why’d you leave me why’d you have to go? Em Am C i was counting on forever , now i’ll never know D oh , i’ll never know G it’s like i’m looking from a distance standing in the background Em Am everybody’s saying , he’s not coming home now C D this can’t be happening to me G Em Am C D this is just a dream G Em Am C D oh , this is just a dream Em just a dream yeah , yeah
