Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]My [F]Dad[G]dy [C]brought home a photograph
from the pa[F]per [C]yesterday
It showed a line of wagons movin'
some[F]place far [Dm]away[G]
That [F]picture made my daddy smile,
it [C]made my Momma [Am]cry
It seems like [F]Daddy's wagon load of
dreams had long since passed her by
[G]

[Verse 2]
But the [F]dream that makes the sparrow
fly can [C]make an eagle fall
And [F]one that makes the rich man money,
it [C]ain't no dream at [G]all
It's a cryin' [F]shame to wake up just to
find it's [C]all been [G]broke in [Am]two
[F]Careful what you're dreamin',
'cause it someday may come true
[C]

[Verse 3]
Well he talked on all through supper time 'bout
the good [F]prospector's [C]life
Couldn't see Momma didn't wanna be
no good [F]prospector's [G]wife
He said, "We best [F]sell out and go
before the weather [C]turns too [Am]cold
And maybe [F]buy ourselves an extra
horse to carry all the gold"
[G]

[Verse 4]
But the [F]dream that makes the sparrow
fly can [C]make an eagle fall
And [F]one that makes the rich man money,
it [C]ain't no dream at [G]all
It's a cryin' [F]shame to wake up just to
find it's [C]all been [G]broke in [Am]two
[F]Careful what you're dreamin',

[Interlude 1]
'cause it someday may come true
[C][F][C][G][Am][F]

[Verse 5]
[F]And [C]I got up as soon as the first light came
[F]to start the mornin' [C]fire
Wonderin' if my Momma's will had
[F]cooled that man's de[G]sire
And in[F]side that stove upon the coals,
an [C]ashen [G]paper [Am]lay
It was a [F]ghostly line of wagons,
movin' someplace far away
[G]

[Verse 6]
And the [F]dream that makes the sparrow
fly can [C]make an eagle fall
And [F]one that makes the rich man money,
it [C]ain't no dream at [G]all
It's a cryin' [F]shame to wake up just to
find it's [C]all been [G]broke in [Am]two
[F]Careful what you're dreamin',
'cause it someday may come [C]true
Oh, be [F]careful what you're dreamin',

[Outro 1]
'cause it someday may come true
[C]
