Verse 1:
G           F
 Remember I painted pictures of you
   G          F
And I never found my way out
     G              F
I spent a lifetime of dreams in the fields of your eyes
    G              F
Lay me down when the rain covers you

     C           Bb
And I'm afraid of the emptiness holding my thoughts
   C            Bb
I see blue I see grey all the while

Chorus:
       G               D
And when the night comes again I'll hold my hands to the skies
      Em            C
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream of home
       G              D
And when the winter comes calling turn my face to the wind
      Em            C
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream
  G   Bb  A  C
Of Alaska

Verse 2:
G                F
 Your name is whispered with the breath of my soul
   G             F
In a hope that I'll never let fade
      G              F
Between the mist on the waves and the blue of the sky
     G             F
I threw a rose to the sea in your name

      C               Bb
Now listen somewhere tonight there are tears on the wind
     C              Bb
Are they yours are they mine I don't know

Chorus:
      G              D
I'm crying out to the sky I hope you're with me tonight
      Em            C
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream of home
      G               D
And now the earth is left wanting turn my face to the wind
      Em            C
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream
  G   Bb  A  C
Of Alaska
