Intro 1

Verse 1
D D 
 
When I  was a
G G 
 
D D 
 
young man beginnin' my teens
G G 
 
How well I remember the lickin's I'd
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
get cause I'd dream
G G 
 
D D 
 
My work never finished, barely begun
G G 
 
I couldn't get started till all
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
of my dreamin' was done

Verse 2
D D 
 
I wouldn't shuck cotton', I
G G 
 
D D 
 
wouldn't chop wood
G G 
 
And Pa would whip me and say
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
that's for bein' no good
But I kept chasin' rainbows,
G G 
 
D D 
 
finally I found
G G 
 
The great open range and the hills were
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
my best dreamin' ground

Verse 3
Bm Bm 
 
When I   left the home place
G G 
 
F#m F#m 
 
our Mother did cry
Bm Bm 
 
She begged me to stay there
G G 
 
F#m F#m 
 
and not   say goodbye
Bm Bm 
 
G G 
 
My Pa  told my Mother,
F#m F#m 
 
your tears are in vain
Em Em 
 
Your son is a dreamer and the
E E 
 
A A 
 
winds call his name

Verse 4

So don't try to stop him,

let him move on

'Cause he won't stop his driftin'

Till all of his dreamin' is gone

Verse 5
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Last night in a campfire a face I did see
A vision of Mother,
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
she seemed to be callin' to me
For seventeen years now,
G G 
 
D D 
 
I've drifted alone
But I wanna see Mother,
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
tomorrow I start driftin' home

Verse 6
Bm Bm 
 
The last hill I've climbed now,
G G 
 
F#m F#m 
 
and what do I see
Bm Bm 
 
An old run down shack where
G G 
 
F#m F#m 
 
the ranch used to be
Bm Bm 
 
Then I   see a tombstone
G G 
 
F#m F#m 
 
and then  see one more
Em Em 
 
E E 
 
I drifted too long from the old
A A 
 
ranch house door

Verse 7
D D 
 
G G 
 
There's nothin' more left now but driftin',
D D 
 
it seems
G G 
 
But I hope I can dream of the
lickin's I'd get
D D 
 
'Cause I'd dream
