F                  F

Dm                    G
Because you've seen it all
               F

F
i watched the men who rode you 
F
they switched from sails to steam
F 
and in your belly you hold the treasures
F                F
few have ever seen
Dm                    G
most of them are dreams
                 F 
most of them are dreams


F

F

F

 F                      F
