Billy Joel-River of Dreams - sr - 200

[Just light drums - B S sS S - Really swing this] 4 bars

[Intro vocals]
[G]Woo ooh ooh bit [C] [D]

[Backing vocal part - Full drums]
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the 
[C]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[D]in the middle of the, I go walking in the

[Chorus 1 - to make chords more interesting can go from
G to C, C to Dm7 and D to Em7 figure]

In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
From the mountains of [C] faith to the river so [D] deep
I must be looking for [G] something, something sacred I [G] lost
But the river is [C] wide and it's too hard to [D] cross
 
[Verse 1]
[Em] Even though I know the [D] river is wide
I walk down [C] every evening and I [Bm] stand on the shore
[C] I try to cross to [Bm] the opposite side
So I can [A7] finally find out what I've been [D] looking for
(run down - x7777x x6777x x5777x x3555x x5777x)
 
[Chorus 2]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the valley of [C] fear to a river so [D] deep
I've been searching for [G] something taken out of my [G] soul
Something I could never [C] lose, something somebody [D] stole
 
[Verse 2]
[Em] I don't know why I go [D] walking at night
But now I'm [C] tired and I don't wanna [Bm] walk anymore
[C] I hope it doesn't take the [Bm] rest of my life
Until I [A7] find what it is I've been [D] looking for
(run down)
[Pause]
 
[Chorus 3]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the jungle of [C] doubt to the river so [D] deep
I know I'm searching for [G] something, something so [G] undefined
That it only can be [C] seen by the eyes of the [D] blind
In the middle of the [G] night [C] [D] 

[Piano bit - add 7ths - bluesy]
[G] [C] [D] x 2
 
[Verse 3]
[Em] Not sure about a [D] life after this
God [C] knows I've never been a [Bm] spiritual man
[C] Baptized by [Bm] fire, I wade into the [A7] river
That is runnin' through the [D] promised land
(run down)
 
[Double Pause]
[Chorus 4]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the desert of [C] truth to the river so [D] deep
We all end in the [G] ocean, we all start in the [G] streams
We're all carried a [C] long by the river of [D] dreams
In the middle of the [G] night

[Backing vocal part - NO CHORDS TO BEGIN WITH - PERHAPS JUST BASS THEN CHORDS BACK IN]
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the 
[C]valley of faith
[D]river so deep

[Repeat until end]
[End]

All gone when we drop the bomb
 
Can the politicians reassure?
            F7
Cause here I am
 
Presuming that
 
Nobody wants a war
                 Abmaj7
There's so many people praying
          G7+5
Just to find out if they're staying
      Cm7
But lately stately governments
 
And disillusioned leaders
     F7
So full of empty promises
 
But rarely Do they feed us
             Abmaj7
Put our backs against the wall
     G7+5
Or don't we count at all?
                Cm7
Can you decide
 
Are you mesmerised?
 
Do you know which side you're standing?
              F7
Cause when it falls
 
Gon' take us all
 
Gotta know what we're demanding
 Abmaj7
I never lie
 
Can't you hear the cry
             G7+5
Coming from on high:
 
We're too young to die!
 
 
[Chorus] x8
Cm7          Dbm7
Do-do-do-doo
