Here we are, the work in progress that I've got (apologies about the formatting). This takes into account the boogloo version, the
Dominator tab, and the Cliff Edwards version, all mangled together and simplified a bit...
Code:
I'll see you in my dreams * Gus Kahn / Islam Jones
(as performed at the Concert For George by Joe Brown)
Intro:
[F][Dm][FM7][Dm] x4
[F]Though the [Dm]days are [FM7]long[Dm]
[D7]Twilight sings a song[D]
[G7]Of the happ[Bbm6]iness that [C]used to [F]be[Dm][FM7][Dm]
[Am]Soon my [E7]eyes will close
Soon I'll [Am]find repose
[C]And in dreams, you're [Dm]always [G7]near to [C]me [C7]
I'll [Bb]see you in my [Bbm6]dreams
[F]Hold you [E7]in my [F]dreams
[D7]Someone took you out of my arms
[G7]Still, I feel the [C7]thrill of your charms
[Bb]Lips that once were [Bbm6]mine
[F]Tender [E7]eyes that [F]shine
[F9]They [D7]will [F9]light [D7]my [A7]way to[Dm]night
I'll [Bb]see you [Bbm6]in [C7]my [F]dreams
Solo*
[Bb]Lips that once were [Bbm6]mine
[F]Tender [E7]eyes that [F]shine
[F9]They [D7]will [F9]light [D7]my [A7]way to[Dm]night
I'll [Bb]see you [Bbm6]in [C7]my [F]dreams
[F9]They [D7]will [F9]light [D7]my [A7]lonely way to[Dm]night
I'll [Bb]see you [Bbm6]in [C7]my [F]dreams [Dm][FM7][Dm]
Outro:
[F][Dm][FM7][Dm]
Then [F] and slowly pluck downwards.
Notes:
Where I prescribe the F9, it's 'supposed' to be a Cm6, but the F9 sounds effectively the same and swapping between that and D7 is braindead easy. Bar the second fret with your index finger, do the rest with your middle finger
The D7 in the first verse is another type of D7, not the standard bar chord version. Second fret on the G and E strings.
One last thing: The 'FM7' I use is not the same as listed at the boogaloo version, in fact I don't even think it's the proper chord name. Check out the dominator tab, he's using the same chord under the name 'Fmaj7'
Here's what I'm doing though:
Hold a Dm, then plant your pinky finger on the C string, fourth fret. So basically for the entire riff - from an F, put your ring finger on the C string second fret to make a Dm, then your pinky on the fourth fret, then remove your pinky to get back to Dm. If someone can give me a more accurate name than 'FM7' I'd appreciate it.
*For the solo, you're on your own. In other words, I haven't figured anything out myself. If you get lost, at least slap the intro riff onto the back of the proceeding verse and play it a couple of times as a bridge.
In other versions of this song though, the following verse turns up here, feel free to use the progressions above and figure it out:
In the dreary gray
Of another day
You are far away and I am blue
Still I hope and pray
Through each weary day
For it brings the night and dreams of you
Hope that helps
