Intro: Em 
  
    Cmaj7          G7             F              C 
The fragile gentle butterfly with multi-coloured wings 
Cmaj7          G7                F              C 
Settles on the toadstools in the midst of fairy rings 
   Cmaj7            G7              F             C 
Midsummer sounds of tinkle bells as sweet Titania sings. 
  
  
C       Am7   C 
Or am I drea__ming 
C       Am7       C 
Or am I drea______ming? 
  
  
    Cmaj7         G7            F                C 
And I will have a castle with a drawbridge and a moat 
    Cmaj7         G7           F                    C 
And light my open fires with a brand new five pound note 
    Cmaj7       G7                 F                  C 
And go off on a winter cruise in a bright red sailing boat. 
  
  
C       Am7   C

C       Am7       C 
Or am I drea______ming?

Bridge: 
Am                                 C              Am 
Pick the golden casket, and you'll get what you deserve 
Am                                   C             Am 
Yards of pure white chiffon, falling in a graceful curve 
Am                      Am7    C            Am 
Crystal clear cut chandeliers, orchids in a bowl 
Am                 Am7           C             Am 
Mulled wine by the fire, and the finest ermine stole. 
  
  
    Cmaj7       G7                F               C 
The water melon moon makes gentle progress in the sky 
Cmaj7            G7               F             C 
Upside down it's floating, as the satellites go by 
    Cmaj7          G7            F                 C 
And you can hold a conversation, if you're not too high. 
  
  
C       Am7   C 
Or am I drea__ming 
C       Am7       C 
Or am I drea______ming? 
  
  
    Cmaj7          G7           F             C 
The magic mountain music man is really rather shy 
C       Am7       C 
Or am I drea______ming?
