[Start]

[Verse]
C              Em          Am    C
■ When I was a boy I had a dream ■
F             Am                 Dm F
All about the things I'd like to be ■
G                      
Soon as I was in my bed
F            G         Em  
Music played inside my head
             G           C    
When I was a boy I had a dream
             Em               Am   C
When I was a boy I learned to play ■
F            Am              Dm   F
Far into the night and drift away ■
G                                          
Don't want to work on the milk or the bread
F                    G      Em     
Just want to play my guitar instead
             Dm          C    
When I was a boy I had a dream


[Chorus]
Em        Am    G         F       A7 Dm
And radio waves ■ kept me company ■  ■ 
         C         Am   G            F   A7 Dm   
In those beautiful days ■ when there was no money
             Bb7         C    
When I was a boy I had a dream


[Verse]
             Em          Am    C
When I was a boy I had a dream ■
F                Am                Dm   F
Finding out what life could really mean ■
G                                         
Don't want a job 'cause it drives me crazy
F                      G       Em  
Just wanna sing do you love me baby
             G           C    
When I was a boy I had a dream


[Chorus]
    Em    Am    C         F       Am Dm
And radio waves ■ kept me company ■  ■ 
         C         Em Am   C            F   A7 Dm   
In those beautiful ■  days ■ when there was no money
             Bb7         C    
When I was a boy I had a dream
G G7 C Em Am C F A7
■ ■  ■ ■  ■  ■ ■ ■ 


[Solo]
Dm C Em Am C F Am Dm
■  ■ ■  ■  ■ ■ ■  ■ 
             Bb7 C
When I was a boy ■
