gimme that dream
riding that Harley easy-rider style across the States... or maybe not.. A soft-rock/country-rock number with a dash of irony...
E ADA E ADA
There’s this old guy in leathers – just a little older than me
E ADA E twiddle
Burning up the highway on his big black Harley
A G A GDA
Got his woman riding pillion snuggled up tight
E open E
Betcha he won’t need Viagra when he gets her home tonight
A GDA E open E
Gimme that dream….. Gimme that dream…..
B EB
Gonna swap my four wheels for two
A AGA
‘sabout time I tried something new
E open E
Gimme that dream….. Gimme that dream…..
See all the bikers in their bandanas and shades
Soaking up the splendour of the north cascades
They mean no trouble, they’re just goofing around
Its just the roar of those engines ooh how they love that sound
Gimme that dream….. Gimme that dream…..
Gonna grow my hair long again, blow it in the breeze
Give life the finger, do as I please
Gimme that dream….. Gimme that dream…..
A GA A G A
But wait a minute, could that be snow
E open E
Mercury’s falling like dying crow
AA G A A G A
Icy water freezing my back
B D B G E
Think I’ll just stick to my Pontiac!
But watch then corner, ooh scary
Leaning like that’s defying gravity
I’m bound to fall off and that’s a fact
Think I’ll just stick to my pontiac!
So let’s plan for the future, 40 years ahead
Swap my mobility scooter for a Harley instead
It’ll have to be trike I fear, with those two wheels on the back
But watch me burn it up to the senior luncheon shack
Gimme that dream, gimme that dream
I wanna die a young man’s death
At 100 years old like McGough* has said
Gimme that dream
* as in the Roger McGough poem
