 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: 
 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

 Trombone solo 
 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
