  			G                                            Am 
When I was a young girl I used to dream of a lover 

D7                                      G 
To be my shining knight of strength one day 

                                 Am 
He carried me to a castle in the heavens 
  
    D7                           G 
And battle all my dragons on the way 


                   C                G 
And he'd ride down on a great white horse  

                   C             G 
He'd bring me love I was longing for 

              D7                G 
He'd bring me charm and lasting peace 
  
                 Am    D7                  G 
On a great white horse he'd ride away with me 

        D7                          G 
Singing dum-di-de-dum-dum-dum-di-de-dum 


                                            Am 
When I was a young man I used to dream of a maiden 

D7                                 G 
With long soft hair flowing in the wind 

                                        Am 
Her laughing eyes and loving arms would follow 

     D7                                 G 
When I'd sail around the world and back again 


                  C                G 
And I'd ride down on a great white horse 
  
                   C               G 
I'd bring the love she was longing for 

              D7                 G 
I'd bring her laughter and sunny days 

                     Am    D7            G 
And on a great white horse I'd carry her away 

        D7                          G 
Singing dum-di-de-dum-dum-dum-di-de-dum 


                                       Am 
The time has flown I find there are no dragons 
  
D7                               G 
And I don't wanna sail the seven seas 

                            Am 
Anywhere we are becomes our castle  

    D7                                 G 
And the only world I want is here with me 


                 C                G 
And we both ride on a great white horse  

                  C               G 
We found the love we were longing for 

          D7                  G 
You're my sunshine on a rainy day 
  
          Am    D7        G 
You're my April you're my May 

        D7                          G 
Singing dum-di-de-dum-dum-dum-di-de-dum 

        D7                          G 
Singing dum-di-de-dum-dum-dum-di-de-dum 

        D7                          G 
Singing dum-di-de-dum-dum-dum-di-de-dum
