THE DREAMIN’ -Tom Russell
Am F C G
Oh, whiskey’s the life of man, but whiskey’s mostly water
Am F C G
And it’s whiskey fuels the worker, and corrupts his only daughter
F C F C
The mountain water’s in the still, the copper pipes a’ steamin’
F Em Dm A/C G/B G

F Em
Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’
F Dm G
A young girl’s prayer, an old man’s thoughts a reelin’
F G Am
Two lovers stealin’, the moonlight beamin’
Dm G C
Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’
Oh I met her down in Dublin town, like a bottle fly I fell

Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’
A young girl’s prayer, an old man’s thoughts are reelin’
Two lovers stealin’, the moonlight beamin’

When passion blends the elements, the yeast is but the dreamin’
Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’, it’s the dreamin’
A young girl’s prayer, an old man’s thoughts are reelin’
Two lovers stealin’, the moonlight beamin’
The search for meaning, leads through the dreamin’
Oh whiskey’s the life of man……
