VAN HALEN-Dreams
Tabbed by Cameron McNeill (rmcn@eisa.net.au)
Standard tuning
This is a great song, and I was really suprised that it hadn't been tabbed
yet.
The song starts off with a cool little intro thing that sounds great on an
acoustic guitar. The rest of the song is just simple chords, and a really
hard solo that I haven't figured out. Even though most of the chords are
played on keyboard, it still sounds wicked if you play along with the
recording, or in a band.
The chords sound better if they are played as power chords.

Verse 1:
A
World turns black and white
F
Pictures in an empty room
G
Your love starts fallin down
A
Better change your tune
F G
Reach for the golden ring
A
Reach for the sky
F G
Baby just spread your wings
Chorus:
C A G F
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
C A G F
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind
Verse 2: Same chords as verse 1
Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
But never losing sight
Spread your wings
Interlude: Same as intro
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Solo
Outro solo: Kinda same as intro, but with distortion.
