Blue Rodeo - House Of Dreams guitar chord

#

From: DWattier@wimsey.com (Daniel Wattier)

Subject: TAB: House of Dreams (Blue Rodeo)

Here's one Blue Rodeo tune that I have been playing for a while. I haven't

seen it posted here or in the Nevada archive. It is a vintage Jim Cuddy love

ballad. I hope everything is clear (I'm a virgin poster).

NOTE:

When playing the Esus in the intro and throughout, hammer the A note (on the G

string). I tried to indicate that with an "h" in the Intro TAB. Just email

me if anyone needs help deciphering.

F#m

Can't stand the sight of myself

E Esus E Esus E

Lying in bed all day with the curtains drawn (as in intro)

F#m

Staring at the clock on the window ledge

E Esus E Esus E

The angry words you said come back so strong

BRIDGE 1:

Abm A A Abm

Sometimes love quits, Oh, when the pieces don't fit

F#m E

And suddenly all your world falls to the floor

Abm A A Abm

Then all your wild days all fall away

F#m Abm A B

You can't see much point in them anymore

CHORUS:

E B

In this house of dreams

Dbm A

I let you walk like a ghost unseen

A Abm F#m

Girl on the day you left

B A E Esus E Esus E

Out walked my everything ...

I must have thought you'd always be here

I never even noticed when the changes came one day

Seems one minute you were standing close

I turned around again and girl you were far away

BRIDGE 2:

And every plan we made, I just let them fade

And pile up on the floor beside the bed

Now you're gone away but your memory stays

I sit here thinking of the things I never said

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL (play chords from the verse)

BRIDGE 3:

Sometimes love quits when the pieces don't fit

And suddenly all your world falls to the floor

Now you're gone away, but your memory stays

I hear your voice behind every single door

CHORUS

E E7 A Am E

... everything ...
