       F#                E             G#m                F#
It's a long long way  to Canada it's a long way from snow chains
                                   G#m    F#       C# B C# B C# B C# 
Donkey vendors slicing coconut  no parkas to their name
      F#                E                G#m                   F#
Black babies covered in baking flour the cook's got a carnival song 
                              G#m   F#         C# B C#        
Lay down someplace shady with dreamland coming on
C#        E                   G#m F#      C# B  C# B  C# B  C#

 Dream on dreamland dreamland dreamland dream            
       F#             E               G#m                F#

Walter Raleigh  Chris Columbus come a marchin out of the waves
                                                G#m         F#

And they claim the beach and concessions in the name of the sun tan 
C# B C# B C# B C#
slaves
   F#                 E                G#m         F#

I wrapped their flag around me like an Errol Flynn sarong 
                                       G#m  F#         C# B C#

And I laid down thinking national with dreamland coming on
C#        E                   G#m F#      C# B  C# B  C# B  C#

 Dream on dreamland dreamland dreamland dream            
         F#           E                  G#m                       F#

Goodtime Mary and the lady soldiers  all dressed up to follow the
drums


Mary in a feather hulahoop misfortune
       G#m     F#           C# B  C# B C#  B  C#
With a rose on her big game gun
      F#               E                   G#m                F#

All saints and sinners shinning heed those trumpets all night long 
                                  G#m  F#          C# B C#        
Propped up on the samba beat with dreamland coming on
C#        E                   G#m F#      C# B  C# B  C# B  C#

 Dream on dreamland dreamland dreamland dream            
    F#           E                          G#m             F# 
Tar baby and the great white wonder talking over a glass of rum
                             G#m           F#        C# B C# B C# 
Burnin on the inside with a  knowledge of things  to come 
         F#              E                G#m             F#
There's  gambling on the terrace midnight rambling on the lawn
                                     G#m   F#          C# B C# 
As they lean towards temptation with dreamland coming on
C#        E                   G#m F#      C# B  C# B  C# B  C#

 Dream on dreamland dreamland dreamland dream            
     F#                   E           G#m                 F# 
In a plane flying back to winter with shoe full of tropic sand


There comes a lady draped in a foreign flag 
       G#m         F#        C# B C# B C# B C#
On the arms of her Marlboro man
    F#                      E             G#m                F#
The hawks howls in New York City six foot drifts on Myrtle's lawn
                                            G#m  F#          C# B C#

As they push the recliner buttons down with dreamland coming on
C#         E                  G#m F#      C# B  C# B  C# B  C#

Dreamland dreamland dreamland dream
