 G                              C        G 
When midnight comes and people homeward tread 
  G                               C      G 
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed 
  G              D                    C  G 
Home comes the rover, his journey's over 
   G                            C        G  
Yield up the night time to old John O' Dreams 
   G                             C        G 
Yield up the night time to old John O' Dreams 


Across the hill, the sun has gone astray 
Tomorrow's cares are many dreams away 
The stars are flying, your candle is dying  
Yield up the darkness to old John O' Dreams 
Yield up the darkness to old John O' Dreams 


Both man and master in the night are one 
All things are equal when the day is done 
The prince and the ploughman, the slave and the freeman 
All find their comfort in old John O' Dreams 
All find their comfort in old John O' Dreams 


When sleep it comes the dreams come running clear  
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here  
Sleep is a river, flows on forever 
And for your boatman choose old John O' Dreams 
And for your boatman choose old John O' Dreams 


When midnight comes and people homeward tread  
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed 
Home comes the rover, his journey's over  
Yield up the night time to old John O' Dreams 
Yield up the night time to old John O' Dreams
