Dreams Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my Dreams chords and guitar lesson by Fleetwood Mac. My Dad is a huge Fleetwood Mac fan so obviously I have a soft spot for their music.

This is a great song that does feature some F chords but you chould always substitute the 3 or 4 finger Fmaj7 chord. This chord is used  on the choruses, so it won't seem or feel out of place to substitute that chord in.

Let's check it out!

Now here you go again

You say   you want your freedom
F                       G                                F     G
Well, who am I to keep you down?

F                       G                                 F                                G

Of your loneliness, like a heartbeat, drives you mad
                  F                    G                                            F    G
In the stillness of remembering what you had
                             F         G

Say women they will come and they will go
Fmaj7                         G6                                 Fmaj7        G
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
           Fmaj7
You'll know

I keep my visions to myself

It's only me who wants to wrap around you dreams and,

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell
