I Dreamed a Dream (Les Miserables)

, Claude-Michel Schonberg

6    6  6  6    6    6   6    6
There was a time when men were kind
 6     6    6  6   6    6    6    6     6   6  6  6
When their voices were soft and their words inviting
  6    6  6  6    6    6    6    6
There was a time when love was blind
 6   6    6    6  6  6     6   6   6    6  6  6  6
And the world was a song, and the song was exciting
  6    6  6  6     6   6  <7   6     6
There was a time, then it all went wrong
6    6    6   6   <-5  6   <-6  <7
I dreamed a dream in  time gone by
 6    6    6   6    6  <-6   <7    <5 6
When hope was high and life worth living
<7  <7     <7   <7   <-6  <7 -7 -8
I dreamed that love would never die
<7  <7     <7  <7   <7   -7  -8 <5 6
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
 6   6  6    6   <-5 6 <-6 <7
Then I was young and unafraid
 6    6     6    6    6  <-6  <7   <5 6
And dreams were made and used and wasted
 <7   <7  <7 <7 <-6 <7 -7  -8
There was no ransom to be paid
<7  <7  <7 <7   <7  -7  -8 <5 6
No song unsung, no wine untasted
<6  <-6 <7 <6   <5  -4  -3
But the tigers come at night
 <6   <-6  <7 <6   <5  -4 <-3 <-6
With their voices soft as thunder
<-5  6   <-6  <-5   -4  -3 3
As  they tear your hope apart
<-5  6   <-6   6    <-5  <-6  6 <-6 <7 -7 -8
As  they turn your dream to   shame
6    6   6 6 <-5  6  <-6 <7
He slept a summer by my side
6    6    6   6    6   <-6 <7   <5 6
He filled my days with endless wonder
<7  <7  <7  <7  <-6  <7 -7    -8
He took my childhood in his stride
<7  <7 <7   <7   <7  <-6 6   6
But he was gone when autumn came
<-6  <-6 <-6 <-6   -6   <-6  <7 <-7
And still I dream he'll come to me
<-6  <-6 <-6 <-6  <-6  <7   <-7 <-5 <-6
That we will live the years  together
<-7  <-7  <-7  <-7    <7  <-7 -8 <8
But there are dreams that cannot be
<-7  <-7  <-7  <-7   <-7 -8 <8 <-5 <-6 
And there are storms we cannot weather
<-7 <-7 <-7  -8   <-7 <7   <-7  <-6
 I  had  a  dream my life would be
-8  -8  -8    -8  <-7   <7  <8   <-7 <7 <-6
So different from this hell I'm    living
<-7 <-7 <-7  <-7  <7  <-7  -8   <8
So different now from what it seemed
<-7 <-7  <-7  <-7   <7   <7  <-6 <-6
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
