The Dreamer

The Tallest Man On Earth

Text File

The intro pattern pretty much repeats throughout the song. Standard tuning, unlike 
almost every other Tallest Man song. I'm not quite sure about the lyrics, but I 
think the rest is pretty accurate.

Verse:

Dm                G          C        F
   I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
Dm             G              C       F
   Though I am nothing big to offer
Dm              G              C            F
   I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
          E                F            Gsus4   G
It's like nothing in this world's ever still

Dm                G          C               F
   And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
Dm               G             C         F
   But sun is setting, shadows growing
Dm             G             C       F
   A long cast figure will turn into night
          E                F          Gsus4   G
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps


Chorus:

   C             F              G        C     (C/B)
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
    Am             F        Gsus4   G
And why can't that always be
C       F              G        C     (C/B)
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Am          F         Gsus4   G
Just enough dark to see
N.C.
How you're the light over me

Dm G C F x2

Verse:
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won't be old

Chorus:
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me

(same as chorus)
C F G C (C/B)
Am F Gsus4 G

Chorus:
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me

(same as the intro)
Dm G C F x6
