xDream Walkin' (From the album "Dream Walkin'")
--------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Like a lot of country songs the lead guitar plays a huge role in defining
the song, but here I chose to only write out the chords in an arrangement
for a single acoustic guitar player. There are some quick changes, which
I refer to as "accent chords" but you'll get the idea. Just listen to the
song for the timing and the changes.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t^ = tap with righthand finger
H = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\) = Dive w\bar
(/) = Release w\bar
Tp = Tap w\plectrum
Intro Chords: F-C-Dm-Bb x2
Verse 1:
F C
She left a yellow rose and a long neck bottle,
Dm Bb
On a table beside my bed.
F C
With a short little note that said I had a good time,
Dm Bb Am-Bb
It was written in lipstick red.
Bb C Bb
She didn't sign her name I wonder,
C Am-Bb
If that a little secret that she keeps.
C Dm C-F
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep.

Dream walkin', pillow talkin'.

I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends.
Verse 2:
F C
She took my new sunglasses and my old jean jacket,
Dm Bb
And she never even bothered to ask.
F C
You could say I haven't seen her since late last summer,
Dm Bb Am-Bb
But every night she comes back.
Bb C Bb
Just like smoke through the keyhole,
C Am-Bb
She slips in so silently.

Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep.
Chrous:

Dream walkin', pillow talkin'.

Ooo... there's a thin line between dreams and memories.

I'll be losin' my mind 'till she comes back to me.

Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in.

She's walkin' around in my sleep.
F-C-Dm-Bb until fade...
