Dream Walkin Tab

by Toby Keith


Dream Walkin' (From the album "Dream Walkin'")
--------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard 

Like a lot of country songs the lead guitar plays a huge role in defining
the song, but here I chose to only write out the chords in an arrangement
for a single acoustic guitar player. There are some quick changes, which
I refer to as "accent chords" but you'll get the idea. Just listen to the
song for the timing and the changes. 

Key:
/    = slide up
\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)
b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb   = pre-bend
r    = release-bend
t^   = tap with righthand finger
    = hammer-on
p    = pull-off
~    = Vibrato
*    = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
**   = Artificial Harmonic
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\)  = Dive w\bar
(/)  = Release w\bar
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum


Intro Chords: --- x2


Verse 1:
                            
She left a yellow rose and a long neck bottle,
                   
On a table beside my bed.
                                     
With a short little note that said I had a good time,
                                 -
It was written in lipstick red.
                                             
She didn't sign her name I wonder,
                            -
If that a little secret that she keeps.
                                      -
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep.


Chrous:
              
Dream walkin', pillow talkin'.
                    
She's callin' my name again.
                                            
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in.
                                                  ---
I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends.


Verse 2:
                                 
She took my new sunglasses and my old jean jacket,
                             
And she never even bothered to ask.
                                      
You could say I haven't seen her since late last summer,
                                -
But every night she comes back.
                                
Just like smoke through the keyhole,
                -
She slips in so silently.
                                      -
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep.


Chrous:
              
Dream walkin', pillow talkin'.
                    
She's callin' my name again.
                                            
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in.
                                            
I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends.


Bridge:
                                                
Ooo... there's a thin line between dreams and memories.
                                              - X4
I'll be losin' my mind 'till she comes back to me.


Refrain:
              
Dream walkin', pillow talkin'.
                    
She's callin' my name again.
                                            
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in.
                                                
I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends.
                                                 
I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends.
                                                 --
I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends.
                                -  
She's walkin' around in my sleep.
                                -
She's walkin' around in my sleep.
