I hear the nights are long the days are longer  
                                                                   G

I'm working on a dream 
  
C  
Now the cards I've drawn are rough and darkened  
                                                                                             G  
I've straightened the back and...I'm working on a dream  
                                C    
I'm working on a dream

Rain pouring down I swing the hammer  
                                                                              G  
My hands are rough from...working on a dream
