Chords:
          (from lowest to highest strings)
     D: power  xx023x    strum  x00232
     C: power  x320xx    strum  x32010
     C6: power  x322xx   strum  x32210

     I know that Queensryche loves barre chords, but I play it
with open chords since the song needs space.  Long drawn out open
chords are mighty powerful in creating that 'dreamy, spatial'
feeling.

Lyrics/Arrangement:

Opening: Rhy Fig 1 twice | Rhy fig 2 | Rhy fig 2a |

Rhy Fig 1 twice                              
Hush now, don't you cry,   

             Rhy Fig 2                  Rhy Fig 2a
wipe away the teardrop from your eye.

Rhy Fig 1a twice              
You're lying safe in bed, 

                    Rhy Fig 2b twice
it was all a bad dream spinning in your head.

Rhy Fig 3 twice
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain,

                Rhy Fig 4 twice
Of someone close to you leaving the game (of life).

Rhy Fig 3 twice                                   Rhy Fig 4
So here it is, another chance, wide awake you face the day. 

               &&
The dream is over, or has it just begun....?

Rhy Fig 5 twice | Rhy Fig 2c twice


Rhy Fig 5 twice
There's a place I like to hide, 
If you open your mind for me,

               Rhy Fig 2c twice
a doorway that I run through in the night.
you won't rely on open eyes to see.

Rhy Fig 5 twice
Relax child, you were there, 
The walls you built within

               Rhy Fig 2c twice
but only didn't realise that you were scared.
come tumbling down and a new world will begin.

Rhy Fig 3 twice
It's a place where you will learn
Living twice at once you learn,

                  Rhy Fig 4 twice
to face your fears, retrace the years,
you're safe from pain in the dream domain,

and ride the whims of your mind.
a soul set free to fly.

Rhy Fig 3 twice
Commanding in another world,
A round trip journey in your head,

          Rhy Fig 4 twice
suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension....
master of illusion, can you realise your dream's alive 

2nd time: (you can be the guide, but)


D                C6
I.................will be watching over you

D                C6
I.................am gonna help to see you through

D                C6
I.................will protect you in the night

D                C6 $$$       2nd time &&&
I.................am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity....

Rhy Fig 1b twice


Rhy Fig 6 twice (Begin solo)| Rhy Fig 7 twice | 
Rhy Fig 6 twice | Rhy Fig 7 twice | (rhythm section rest)

Voice: Visualise your dream,
     Record it in the present tense,
     Put it into a permanent form, 
     If you persist in all efforts,
     You can achieve a dream come true...
     ...a dream come true...
     ...a dream come true...
(Go to 2nd verse)

***************************************************************
Notes:
EXTRA LITTLE NOTES: Play an E at the 5th fret of the second
string right before "Your mind tricked you to feel the pain."
After "or has it just begun...?" hammer an E from the open D
string followed by an open G string before entering Rhy Fig 5.

CHORUS: depending on my mood, I either play whole note power
chords or strum (eighth notes) the chords.  Depending on what
sounds good at the time, I play either a C or a C6 chord. 
Technically, it's supposed to be a C6 chord (my two versions o'
tab confirm this), but some days it just doesn't sound right.

PLAYING: Chris DeGarmo plays a spanish, nylon 6-string acoustic
for the rhythm part.  I'm pretty sure a normal 6-string and a 12-
string join in along the way.  As the the song progresses, I
think a 6-string electric (clean) comes in.  Another electric
comes in for the solo (see below).  I always play this song with
a steel 6-string and it sounds fine.  If you play with steel
strings play without a pick: it sounds better IMHO.  Any nylon
string players probably want to follow DeGarmo's part with a
pick.  This info is just IMHO, not written in stone.

SOLO: Playing the heavily repeated part of the solo on acoustic
is kinda tough (which is what I always play the entire song
with).  It never really sounds right.  I freelance that part just
about every time I play it.  If you have an electric with a
tremolo bar (sp) and all the effects (I think Chris DeGarmo likes
chorus, octave, and overdrive, but don't hold me to that), you
can make it sound perfect.

STRING ARRANGEMENT: I have no idea what the string arrangement is
(done by Michael Kamen of _Robin Hood_, etc, etc fame), nor do I
even have a clue.  I would like to play them on my 'board, so if
anybody knows it, I would be glad if they sent it my way.

Hope you all liked it.  As this is my first tab, comments, as
always, are appresciated.  Flame, as always, is not.
