Billy Joel - Everybody Has A Dream
===============================================================================
Intro Chords:
| D/F# Em/G G#dim |
| D/A | Bm G | D/A | Em/A
[Verse 1]
A D G/B F#m
While in these days of quiet desperation
Bm Bm7/A E/G# E
As I wander through the world in which I live
G A Bm Bm7/A
I search everywhere for some new inspiration
E/G# E Em7
But it's more than cold reality can give
A7 D G/B F#m
If I need a cause for celebration
Bm Bm7/A E/G# E
Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind
G A Bm Bm7/A
I rely on my imagination
E/G# E A9sus
And I dream of an imaginary time
A7 A9sus (Bass climb to D)
Oh oh, now I know that
[Chorus]
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream
F#m Bm G F#m
And this is my dream, my own
F#7 Bm G F#m
Just to be at home
F#7 Bm G F#m D7 Em7 A9sus N.C.
And to be all alone with you
[Verse 2]
A Bm7 A/C# D G/B F#m
If I be-lieve in all the words I'm saying
Bm Bm7/A E/G# E
And if a word from you can bring a better day
G A Bm Bm7/A
Then all I have are these games that I've been playing
E/G# E Em7
To keep my hope from crumbling away
A7 Bm7 C#dim D G/B F#m
So let me lie and let me go on sleeping
Bm Bm7/A E/G# E
And I will lose myself in palaces of sand
G A Bm Bm7/A
And all the fantasies that I will be keeping
E/G# E Em7/A A9sus
Will make the empty hours easier, easier to sta-------nd
And I know that
[Chorus]
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream
F#m Bm G F#m
This is my dream, my own
F#7 Bm G F#m
Just to be at home
F#7 Bm G F#m D7
And to be all alone
Em7 A9sus
All alone with you
Em7/A Asus4 A7
Oh, oh, with you I Know that
[Outro]
D F#m7 G G7
Everybody has a dream, oh
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream, I know that
D F#m7 G G7
Everybody has a dream, Everybody
D F#m7 G G7
Everybody, Everybody,
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream, I know that
D F#m7 G G7
E----verybody
D F#m7 G
Everybody has a dream
D F#m7 G G7
Everybody has a dream

God Damn, that took a while.
Hope it's alright - Put question marks next to 2 chords I wasn't certain upon or they had
a special voicing. And then in the quick chord changes half way through the verse or leading
into the chorus (the A7's mostly) It... does stay A7 though there's a random few notes thrown into every
different one, nevertheless I think I did a good job.
Goodluck, Hit me up for questions if you have any.
:P

I just wanted it for the words.
I play piano and have it down pat. I dedicate it to my friend Nigel who died of lung cancer, played it at his funeral and used this to “ keep me going” without mixing up the first and second verse lyrics.
Thank you, even although I played and supported Billy Joel during the Storm Front tour in Australia in 1990 with Australian icon Daryl Braithwaite.
It means so much to me and so many others 🌈

When I was ten years old, (44 years ago) I would listen to this song with headphones blaring, dreaming that I was the guy crushing this song on piano and wailing towards the end.
Thank you so much for giving us this very complex song . Now my old dream is real. Of course there’s no audience and my neighbors probably think a wild animal lives upstairs from them.
Many thanks for this!
