G                G 
William Layne dreamed a dream  
  D                               G 
about a new tomorrow where true freedom reigned 
             G             G 
Where every man and woman too  
       D                                 G 
would live a just and peaceful life in this fair land 
          C                 Am 
Dreamers come and dreamers go  
     G                    D 
the winds have changed refused to blow 
 
So William Layne took to sea 
true believers searching for their new domain 
with Bon Voyage and Royal Layne Seign  
the Royal Tar set sail for south america 
dreamers come and dreamers go  
all there is is all we know 
 
Chorus: 
    G              C       G                C 
a slab hut in the jungle sliprails on the plains 
 G                    C           G          C 
coffee coloured children with anglo spanish names 
 Am                D       Am             D 
picture a perfect garden choked and overgrown 
       C -- Am      G - Em      C --  D      G - go to intro 
and a boomerang in paraguay so far away from home 
 
Intro: 
 
William Layne took his dream 
and sailed acroos that mighty ocean once again 
settled down lived his days 
somewhere in the middle of the long white cloud 
dreamers come and dreamers go  
all they leave is all we know
