I have written it in the key of A for sanity. Enya does this with a simple pick: T234 T3 (or some variation thereof) VOCAL VERSION: (it's simple, but it works) -just pick the chords; this song is meant to show off vocal improvisation, and the very nice slides up to the higher notes. And don't spare the sentimentality; Remember valentine's day isn;t that far away! Time sig: feels like a 3/4 to me: A E7 A I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls E7 (bm) (E7) A with vassals and serfs by my side A E7 A And-of all those who assembled within those walls E7 (Bm) (E7) A that I was the hope and the pride. -------------------------------------------------------- **if picking ignore the optional chords; nice for strumming) A E7 Bm A I had riches too great to count E7 Bm E E7 and a high ancestral name ...... but A E7 A I also dreamt which pleased me most .....that E7 (Bm) A you loved me still the same. A Bm (A) E7 Bm A That you loved me.... you loved still the same; A Bm (A) E7 Bm A that you loved me ...you loved me still the same; A E7 (Bm) D E7 A that you loved me still.........the same.. ----------------------------------------------------------- vocal note: keep up the momentum, building on the last 4 lines; don't insert a rest between lines. ____________________________________________________________ ENDING TAB: -------------------------------------------------| -------------------2---0-----------2-------------| -----------1--2----------------1---2-------------| --2--2--4------------------4-------2-------------| -------------------0-------0-------0-------------| -----------0-------------------------------------| Second verse: ------------- A E7 A I dreamt that suitors sought my hand E7 (bm) E7 A that knights upon bended knee A Eu A and with vows no maiden's heart could withstand E7 (bm) E7 A they pledged their faith to me. --------------------------------- A E7 Bm A And I dreamt that one of the noble host E7 Bm E E7 came forth my hand to claim.....But A E7 A ..
