Hey, have you ever tried, really reaching out for the other side

Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
I wanna make it with you, I really think that we could make it girl
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 G
No, you don't know me well, & every little thing only time will tell
If you believe the things that I do, then we'll see it through

And if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you, I really think we could make it girl
Dreams are for those who sleep, life is for us to keep
And if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you, I really think we could make it girl

Lay down your bundles of rags and reminders
And spread your wares on the ground.
Well I've got time if you'll deal in rhyme,
I'm just hanging 'round.
Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there.
Down the empty streets we'll disappear into the dawn,
If you have dreams enough to share.
Hey Mister Dream-Seller, where have you been, tell me,

Can you spare one dream for me?

ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD PAUL SIMON
G C G D
G C
Well the Mama pyjama rolled outta bed, she ran to the police station
D G
When the Poppa found out, he began to shout, he started the investigation
D G
It's against the law, it was against the law
D G
What what mama saw, it was against the law
Well the Mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
The Poppa said oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
C G
Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
C G A D
I'm on my way, takin' my time, but I don't know where

Goodbye to Ro-osie, the queen of Corona

See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard
G F C D G C G D
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard
(Instrumental break)
In a couple of days they come to take me away
When the press let the story leak
Now when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
But I'm on my way, takin' my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard

The River of Dreams
(Billy Joel)
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
from the mountains of faith to a river so deep
G G
I must be looking for something something sacred I lost
C D
But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross
Em D
And even thought I knew the river is wide
C Am
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
Em D
And try to cross to the opposite side
Am D
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the valley of fear to a river so deep
G G
And I've been searching for something taken away of my soul
C D
Something I would never lose something somebody stole
Em D
I don't know why I go walking at night
C Am
But now I'm tired and I don't walk anymore
Em D
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Am D
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the jungle of doubt to a river so deep
G G
I know I'm searching for something something so undefined
C D
That it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind
G
In the middle of the night
Em D
I'm not sure about life after this
C Am
god knows I've never been a spiritual man
Em Am
Babtized by the fire, I wade into the river
Am D
That turns to be the promised land
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the desert of truth to a river so deep
G G
We're all land in the ocean we all start in the streams
C D
We're all carried along by the river of dreams
G
In the middle of the night
