I'll try tabbing the solo later. I cant tab it out right now.
here are the lyrics to the song:
I like to dream, yes yees
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Every place she goes is right
Flies far, flies near
To the stars away from here
Well, you don't know what
We can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know, what
We can find
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
CHORUS
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I found Aladdin's lamp
So I wished that I could stay
But before the thing could answer me
Someone came and took the lamp away
I looked
Around
A lousy candle's all I found
Well, you don't know what
We can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what
We can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
