This is a great song and great version. I cleaned up some of the chords
from the previous version posted. That one had the intro bang on, but
had left the remaining chords in the old Buffalo Springfield key (A), which isn't how
played it at Massey. Note the fingering for the Dm7. This is the basic form for the intro
and its an easy slide playing the intro using just the last three strings. Also note
G progression through to A. This is just a baseline crawl. Hope this helps. Email me
any corrections.

When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed
D G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
I went insane, Like a smoke ring day When the wind blows
G D
Now I won't be back till later on
G G/F# G/E Em A B B B
If I do come back at all
C G Dm7
But you know me, and I miss you now.
Play intro again then chord progression follows throughout
In a strange game
I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came,
And you had a
Chance to see through me
Though the other side is just the same
You can tell my dream is real
Because I love you, can you see me now.
Though we rush ahead to save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you, can you feel it now.
