Verse 1
        Am                        F         C 
Was the fortune of soldiers to be always at war 
                  G             F 
Sighting down the barrel at whatever comes? 
         Am                             F        C 
Till the fighters forgot what they were doing it for 
               G           D 
And reason was lost in the sound of the drums 
Verse 2
          Am                        F       C 
'Twas the fortune of soldiers to be always alone 
               G                  F 
Forgetting the faces of all their loved ones 
Am                        F              C 
Far from their daydreams, far from their homes 
                G              D 
Love songs were drowned in the sound of the drums 
Chorus
                   G                    G/B 
Don't you know the dream has come true? 
                          C 
Don't you know by now the dream has come true? 
                   F 
When they say that peace can never be 
                            C 
It's a fantasy, they didn't know about you 
Chorus
                   G                    G/B 
Don't you know the dream has come true?

Don't you know by now the dream has come true? 
                   F 
When they say that peace can never be 
                                Am 
They weren't imagining what one dreamer can do 
Verse 3
         Am                     F           C 
'Tis the fortune of bankers and builders of arms 
               G         F 
To worship the profit however it comes 
Am                  F              C 
Up in their towers, sheltered from harm 
             G             D 
Far from the smoke and the sound of the drums 
Verse 4
         Am                     F             C 
'Tis the fortune of dreamers to see what they see 
                 G              F 
To live with the scorn till the miracle comes 
   Am                     F           C 
To teach us the music and show us the key 
                  G           D 
And the chorus to silence the sound of the drums 
Chorus
                   G                    G/B 
Don't you know the dream has come true?

                   F 
When they say that peace can never be 
                            C 
It's a fantasy, they didn't know about you

When they say that peace can never be 
                                Am 
They weren't imagining what one dreamer can do

         Am                     F           C 
'Tis the fortune of children to have such a choice 
                 G           F 
To grow up to be dreamers or builders of guns 
Am                 F         C 
Born to be angels, born to rejoice 
            G         D 
Not to grow up to the sound of the drums
