[Verse 1]
D D    C  G G  D D  C  G G
I like to dream, yes, yes
D D     C         G     G    D D  C  G G
Right between the sound machine
D D           C       G            G     D D         C           G G
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night, any place it goes is right
D D   C       G  G     D D         C         G G
Flies far, flies near, to the stars away from here
 
 
[Chorus]
D D       C     G    G    D D C    G G
Well, you don't know what we can find
D D           C         G         G   D D         C        G G
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
D D   C     G    G   D D C    G G
  You don't know what we can see
D D           C         G         G    D D         C        G G
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free
 
 
[Bridge]
G
Close your eyes girl
Bb
Look inside girl
C                      G
Let the sound take you away
 
 
[Verse 2]
D D          C     G         G    D D         C             G G
Last night I found Aladdin's lamp, so I wished that I could stay
D D         C        G            G   D D    C                  G    G
But before the thing could answer me, well someone took the lamp away
D D  C   G    G   D D      C      G    G
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found
 
 
[Chorus]
D D       C     G    G    D D C    G G
Well, you don't know what we can find
D D           C         G         G   D D         C        G G
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
D D       C     G    G    D D C   G G
Well, you don't know what we can see
D D           C         G         G    D D         C        G G
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl

Look inside girl
C                      G
Let the sound take you away

  You don't know what we can find
D D           C         G         G   D D         C        G G
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
D D       C     G    G    D D C   G G
Well, you don't know what we can see

IT GET"S THE JOB DONE.

it's a little tricky at first but the thing you want to focus on learning the most is the strumming pattern

I think the chord for the psychedelic lead is an Em. It sounds best when I only play the top 3 strings.
