Bob Dylan – Bob Dylan's Dream (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan)
Capo III
I'm pretty sure these are the correct lyrics. I also tried to illustrate the elongated syllables and pauses.
Because of this weird meter, I think it is actually rather hard to sing correctly.
The A in the second line does'nt feel necessary to me, so check for yourselves if you need it or not.
Since this is my first tab, please comment heavily.

While riding on a train going west,
( A ) B
I fell asleep for to take my rest,
E A E
Iiiiii dreamed a dream that made me sad,
B A E
Concerning myself ... and the first few friends I had.
E F#m
With half damp eyes I stared to the room,
( A ) B
Where my friends and I spent many'n afternoon,
E A E
Wheeeeeere we together weathered many a storm,
B A E
Laughing and singing ... 'till the early hours of the morn.
E F#m
By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung,
( A ) B
Our words was told, our songs was sung;
E A E
Weeeeee longed for nothing and were satisfied,
B A E
Joking and talking ... about theee wooorld outside.
E F#m
With hungry hearts through the heat and cold,
( A ) B
We never much thought we could get very old;
E A E
Weeeeee thought we could sit forever in fun,
B A E
And our chances really ... was a million to one.
(HARMONICA PART)
E F#m
As easy it was to tell black from white,
( A ) B
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right;
E A E
An' our choices they was few, so the thought never hit,
B A E
That the one road we traveled ... woul'ever shatter or split.
E F#m
Ah many a year has passed and gone,
( A ) B
Many' gamble has been lost and won;
E A E
And many a road taken by many a first friend,
B A E
And each one ... I've never seen again.
E F#m
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
( A ) B
That we could sit simply in that room again;
E A E
Teeeeeeen thousand dollars at the drop of a haaaaaat,
B A E
I'd give it all gladly ... if our lives could be like that.
