Aerosmith
Dream On
(Tyler)
5:02
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the feelings come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, ahhh
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

This TAB is meant only as an add-on to the "DreamOn.crd" that can
already be found at Nevada (thank you, whoever you are). Fills 1, 4,
and 5 are based on F pentatonic minor, and Fill 3 is based on C
pentatonic minor. Fill 2 is just based on the chords that back it,
and the solo is based on the intro.
I suppose a word is in order about my notation for slides. If the note
that you slide *to* has a slash directly in front of it, the note is not
picked. If there is a space between the slash(es) and the note, then
the note *is* picked. I realize this may be confusing, but I wanted to
be precise.
Corrections, questions, comments, etc. always welcome!

These are the chords the sheet music for Aerosmith's "Dream On" uses. The
music was arranged for piano/vocal/ guitar, which means the fingerings for
the guitar chords are completely off. Use your favorite chord dictionary
to find the right fingerings.
"|" stands for the bar line between measures. There are two chords to a
measure for most of this song. For the intro, alternate between the chord
and the bass note C.
Intro: Fm Cm/F | Fm6 Bbm6 | Fm C7sus | Fm
