Innocent When You Dream

Tom Waits


Tom: Dm

    F        Dm7    Bb
The bats are in the belfry
    C7            F
the dew is on the moor
      A7                Dm
where are the arms that held me
    Bb               F
and pledged her love before
    Gm7         C7     F
and pledged her love before

[Chorus]
         F      Dm7     Bb
And it's such a sad old feeling
        C7                  F
all the fields are soft and green
         F        Dm7      Bb
and it's memories that I'm stealing
           F        Bb       F
but you're innocent when you dream
Bb        F
when you dream,
       F        Bb       F
you're innocent when you dream
Bb           F
when you dream
       F        Bb   C7  F
you're innocent when you dream

[Verse 2]
        F       Dm7         Bb
We were running through the graveyard
       C7                     F
and we laughed my friends and I
   A7            Dm
we swore we'd be together
  Bb             F
until the day we died
  Gm7     C7     F
until the day we died

[Chorus]
         F      Dm7     Bb
And it's such a sad old feeling
        C7                  F
all the fields are soft and green
         F        Dm7      Bb
and it's memories that I'm stealing
           F        Bb       F
but you're innocent when you dream
Bb        F
when you dream,
       F        Bb       F
you're innocent when you dream
Bb           F
when you dream
       F        Bb   C7  F
you're innocent when you dream

[Verse 3]
  F      Dm7    Bb
I made a golden promise
     C7             F
that we would never part
  A7             Dm
I gave my love a locket
    Bb               F
and then I broke her heart
    Gm7    C7        F
and then I broke her heart

[Chorus]
         F      Dm7     Bb
And it's such a sad old feeling
        C7                  F
all the fields are soft and green
         F        Dm7      Bb
and it's memories that I'm stealing
           F        Bb       F
but you're innocent when you dream
Bb        F
when you dream,
       F        Bb       F
you're innocent when you dream
Bb           F
when you dream
       F        Bb   C7  F
you're innocent when you dream
