Intro
Dm
Verse 1:
Dm
Sittin' in a Hong Kong bar
Dm
Sweet dreams of you darling
Dm
Ah when we were sweet sixteen
Dm
Mama makin' love in the belly of an old freight train
Dm
Life was so simple and easy
Dm
Oh the sun went down
Dm
You took care of the chill darlin'
Dm
One on one living on the track
Verse 2:
Dm
Then you felt like movin' away,
Dm
Lord now you didn't stand and stare
Dm
You felt like movin' and leavin' darlin'
Dm
Didn't I treat you fair
Dm
It's all right now darlin'
Dm
It's alright now darlin'
Dm
Cause things have gotta change
Verse 3:
Dm
Makin' love to you darlin'
Dm
Was like moonlight on the shore
Dm
Makin' love to you darlin'
Dm
Was like the tide clawing at the shore
Dm
And when I dream about you darlin'
Dm
Lord I long to be the sand
Dm
I need those sweet dreams of you mama
Dm
That's the only thing this poor little man can be tonight
Dm
I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night
Dm
I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night
Verse 4:
Dm
Remember the house we were going to build
Dm
On the far side of the hill
Dm
Whatever happened to those dreams of me mama
Dm
Don't dreamers ever win
Dm
But darlin' when I think about you
Dm
Honey Lord I shed some tears
Dm
Got my pillows wrapped between my legs
Dm
And I think I love you every day
Dm
It's all right now mama
