Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][Bm][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]It's a [G]long,
way from [D]Canada,
[G]A long way from snow c[D]hains,
Donkey [G]vendors slicing [D]coconut,
No [G]park is to [D]their [G]need[D]s.[G][D]
Black ba[G]bies covered [Am]in ba[D]king flour
[G]The cook's got a carnival song
[D]We're gonna lay[G] down
in some place [D]shady
With Dream[G]land coming [Am]up
[G]Dreamland, Dreamland
[D]Dreamland, Dre[G]am la[D]nd[G]
[D]Wha[G]t a[D]n elegant[G]
Chris [Am]Columbus
[D]Come [G]a -marching out of the waves
An[D]d claim the beach
[G]and all concessions[D]
In the [G]name of the [D]sun -tanned slaves
I wrap that flag around me
[G]Like a daughter fill a moose [D]around
And I lay [G]down, thinking [D]national
[G]But dreamland, come [G]land, dreamland,
dream[Am]land, [D]dreamlan[G]d, dre[D]amland
Good [G]time marrying a fortune hunter
All dressed up to follow [D]the drum[G]s
Mary in a feather hula [D]-hoop,
[G]Miss Barton with a ros[D]e
on her big game gun.
Old Saint, Old Sin[G]ner [D]shining,
[G]Heed those trumpets all night long,
[D]Rocked [Am]up on a sam[G]ba beat
[D]With dreamland [G]coming on
[D]Dream[G] la[Bb]nd, dr[G]eamland[Am][D]
[C]Dreamland, [D]dream[Bb] lan[D]d[G][D]
[G][Bb]
[G][D][G][Bb][D][Bb][Eb][D][Eb]
[Bb][D][Bb]
[Bb]Dar [D]baby in the great whit[Ab]e wonder
Talking [Eb]over [Ab]a glass of ru[Ab]m
Burn[G]ing on the inside
[Ab]With the k[G]nowledge of
things to [G]come[G]
[Bb]Ther[D]e's gambling out on[Ab]
the terrace at midnight,
[G]rambling on the[Ab] lawn,
[Eb]as they lead toward temp[G]tation,
[Eb]with dreamland [G]coming on,
dreamland, dreamland,
[Ab]dreamland, [D]dream[D]land.
[G]In [D]a p[G]lan[D]e[G][D][G]
flying back to [Am]winter
[D]In shoes [G]full of tropic [Am]sand[D]
A lady [G]in a foreign flag
[Am]On t[D]he a[G]rm of her Marl
[D]boro man[G][D][G][D]
The hawk howls in New York City
Six foot drifts on Myrtle's lawn
As they pushed the reclined button down
With Dreamland coming on
Dreamland, Dreamland
Dreamland, [D]Dream[D] la[D]nd
[Bb][D][G][Am][D]
[Bb][Bb]
[Bb]African sand [Bb]on the trade winds
[Bb]and the sun on the Amazon
As they push the Birdland [Bb]mountain down
with the Dreamland coming on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
Dreamland, [Bb]Dream[Bb]land
You're
