 Half A Dream Away with Ocean Colour Scene (Revised)
 This how I think Half A Dream Away is played.I think it sounds quite right.
 If you disagree you could always mail me at oscar.widegren@nykoping.com.
 This song doesn't include any real chords except for during the trombone
 solo and the fade-out when it's some kind of chords but they are very quite
 so it's hard to tab that. After the fade-out there is a little part I didn't
 manage to tab. But I will when I have time. The notes between the brackets
 are them who are palm-muted or played very silent.
 Revised: I have corrected the verse.

 Verse:
 We're just half a dream away
 Sitting on our fences
 Building up defences
 Making up the rules by wich we play
 We're just half way down the road
 Staking our positions
 Stupid superstitions
 Only give fools to heavy a load

 Chorus:
 The magpie screeched and the window is shattered
 Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
 The fireman tried but the hose was frozen
 The cupboards bare but the door needs closing

 Verse 2:
 We spend half our time away
 >From being where we want to
 And seeing who it's fun to
 Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes
 We spend half a dream away
 Looking out of windows
 Waiting for a signal
 Waiting for night to turn to day

 The tree was bare but the birds were singing

 The room was cold but the night was freezing

 Chorus 3 & 4:
 The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining
 A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning
 A dog runs wild and the breaks are screaming
 A church on fire is struck by lightning
 The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
 The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
 She went insane and poisoned the children
 A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
