9 Dream

Written by: John Lennon
From: "Walls and Bridges" (1974), now on many Greatest Hits collections
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
One of Lennon's sweetest tunes. Large parts of the composition and the
production sound very much like Harrison - from the slide guitar intro
to the chord pattern in the chorus and outro recalling "My Sweet Lord".

Bridge

                     G
Took a walk down the street
                           G
Through the heat whispered trees
                  Em9   A  Em9   A  Em9   A   Em9   A
I thought I could hear,    hear,    hear,     hear)

  Somebody call out my name    as it started to rain
Em7                     A
   Two spirits dancing so strange

Magic in the air,

  Was magic in the air?
    C Em           F       E
I believe, yes I believe

More I cannot say,

  What more can I say?

Bridge

              G
On a river of sound
                      G
Through the mirror go round, round
                  Em9   A  Em9   A  Em9   A   Em9   A
I thought I could feel,    feel,    feel,     feel
Em7                A     Em7                     A
 Music touching my soul,  something warm, sudden cold
Em7                    A
The spirit dance was unfolding
