D    D9   D   C alt         Am          Cm7     D7
Im - ag - ine  me  with my head on your shoul - der,

    GM7           G/B          B7     E7
And you with your lips getting bol - der,

   C9         Cdim         G    B7      E7
A sky full of moon and a sweet, mellow tune --

A7   Em7  A7   Am7    D7  
I'll buy that dream.


D    D9   D   C alt      Am            Cm7     D7
Im - ag - ine   me in a gown white and flow - 'ry,

    GM7          G/B        B7    E7
And you thanking Dad for my dow - ry,

   C9            Cdim          G    B7      E7
A church full of folks, those last minute jokes --

Am7  D9   D7    G
I'll buy that dream.



Bridge:


  Am7           D9          Am7          D7
A honeymoon in Cairo, in a brand new autogyro,

G           Am7  D7      G
Then off to Rio for a drink;

      Bm7             E7          Bm7-5         E7
We'll settle down in Dallas in a little plastic palace...

A7              Am7           D9     D7
Oh it's not as crazy as you think.


D    D9   D   C alt        Am            Cm7     D7
Im - ag - ine  me, eighty-three, wearing glas - ses,

GM7             G/B         B7    E7
And you, ninety two, making pas - ses;

    C9          Cdim         G   B7    E7
It doesn't sound bad, and if it can be had --

Am7   D9  D7    G
I'll buy that dream.

D    D9   D   C alt        Am             Cm7    D7
Im - ag - ine  me  on our first an - ni - ver - s'ry,

     GM7           G/B        B7     E7
With some one like you in the nurs - ry;

        C9          Cdim         G   B7    E7
Oh, it doesn't sound bad, and if it can be had

Am7   D9  D7    G
I'll buy that dream.
