		Dear Mister Fantasy (Winwood, Capaldi, Wood)
		     by Traffic

Intro:  A   G   D   lick--->into A chord of VERSE 1

	lick
	e|-----------------------------|   where:
	B|-----------------------------|	3-3-3 = triplet
	G|-----------------------------|	b = 1/4 or slight accent bend
	D|-----------------0-----------|	h = hammer-on
	A|----------0---3b---3b--0-----|
	E|------0h3--------------------|
		3-3-3
note:
    Chords are played in standard position (A: X02220, G: 320033, D: XX0232)
as you pick arpeggios up and down the strings.  There is also a "tickle" of
the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it Dsus4 for a
split second) during the verses.  Listen to the song and you'll hear what I
mean.

VERSE 1:

A		     G
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,

D 			 A	lick
Something to make us all happy.

A		     G
Do anything, take us out of this gloom,

       D			  A	 lick
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.

VERSE 2:

A			G
You are the one who can make us all laugh,

    D				 A	lick
But doing that, you break out in tears.

A				 G
Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,

   D				     A
We wouldn't have known you all these years.

BRIDGE:
	F#m	A
	OH.....	AH....  3x

	F#m	G	E7	lick
	OH.....	AH.... 	AH...
