AmG
He is down by the riverside
DmAm
Late one night
CG
He's tryin' to count the stars
DmEE7
In each of the signs
All alone by the riverside
And time passes by
Gathering thoughts of the past
And maybe he'll cry
CG
He's a dreamer
DmAm
And he's fightin' for his life
CGF
He's tryin' to understand
CG
He's a dreamer
DmAm
But he wants to carry on
CGF
Yet I know he's a lonely man
So they say he's a madman
And he don't understand
But I know that he's tryin' hard
To act like a man
All those years he has suffered, my friends
All those years of pain
But I don't think he knows for sure
If those years were in vain
