This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Half A Dream Away with Ocean Colour Scene (Revised)

This how I think Half A Dream Away is played.I think it sounds quite right.

If you disagree you could always mail me at oscar.widegren@nykoping.com.

This song doesn't include any real chords except for during the trombone

solo and the fade-out when it's some kind of chords but they are very quite

so it's hard to tab that. After the fade-out there is a little part I didn't

manage to tab. But I will when I have time. The notes between the brackets

are them who are palm-muted or played very silent.

Revised: I have corrected the verse.

Verse 1

We're just half a dream away

Sitting on our fences

Building up defences

Making up the rules by wich we play

We're just half way down the road

Staking our positions

Stupid superstitions

Only give fools to heavy a load

Chorus

The magpie screeched and the window is shattered

Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered

The fireman tried but the hose was frozen

The cupboards bare but the door needs closing

Verse 2

We spend half our time away

>From being where we want to

And seeing who it's fun to

Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes

We spend half a dream away

Looking out of windows

Waiting for a signal

Waiting for night to turn to day

Chorus 2

The tree was bare but the birds were singing

The milk turned sour and my thirst needs quenching

The meat was dead and I need me feeding

The room was cold but the night was freezing

Chorus 3 & 4

The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining

A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning

A dog runs wild and the breaks are screaming

A church on fire is struck by lightning

The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers

The princess frowned at her lovers mistress

She went insane and poisoned the children

A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
