Daoiri Farrell - John O'Dreams

I really like Daoiri's version of this old song. He uses some nice chords here. I tried to tab the chords, which can only be very loose, because he plays very free. Capo on 2nd fret. Hope this might be helpful. Maybe I'll try to tab the intro one day, but it's a lot of work.

By the way, if someone of you has some tabs, helpers or anything to with with the irish bouzouki to offer which I can post on my blog, this would be very appreciated.

 

 

John O’Dreams

written by Bill Caddick

When midnight comes and people homeward tread
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed
Home comes the rover his journeys over
Yield up the night time to old John O’Dreams

Across the hills the sun has gone astray
Tomorrows cares are many dreams away
They stars are flying your candle is dying
Yield up the darkness to old John O’Dreams

Both man and master in the night are one
All things are equal when the day is done
The prince and the ploughman, the slave and the freeman
All find their comfort in old John O’Dreams

When sleep it comes the dreams come running clear
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here
Sleep is a river, flow on forever
And for your boatman choose old John O’Dreams
