Dreamers And Believers Lyrics And Chords By Derek Ryan

Dreamers and believers lyrics and chords by Derek Ryan. Written by Pete St. John.
Derek playes this song in the key of E. If you want to play along with
Derek and the band place a capo on the second fret and play the chords
I give here. Derek changes key for the last verse. I didn't take account of that,
so you can just keep playing the same chords. [ [ Genre = Irish country song lyrics ]
[D]Another night of playing in the [A]boondocks 
[D]Another night of [G]cryin’ in our [A]beer 
A[G]nother night of [A]Mary quite con[Bm]trary 
[G]Crowds that never came and humpin’ [A]gear 
[G]Down the oul’ white line to fame and [D]fortune 
[G]Maybe next [A]time written in the [D]sky 
[Bm]Always some new [G]song to lift our [A]spirits 
With [G]dreams that [A]don’t come through but [D]never die 


[D]We are the [G]dreamers and be[A]lievers 
The [D]singers and the [G]sinners and the [A]breakers of the mould 
We’re the [D]lovers and the [G]leavers the [Bm]lonely self de[A]ceivers 
We [G]are the music [A]makers and the hard men for the [D]road 


A[D]nother night of [G]so-called tour en[A]gagements 
[D]Another dartboard nightmare [A]far from home 
[G]Half the band don’t [A]talk to one a[Bm]nother 
The [G]other half are [Bm]lyin’ on the [A]phone 
Ah [G]it’s a great life if you just don’t [D]weaken 
[G]Singin’ songs and [A]sellin’ love’s [D]sweet dreams 
[Bm]But there’s magic [G]when we play it to[A]gether 
[G]Don’t ask me [A]what it is or what it [D]means 



[D]We are the [G]dreamers and be[A]lievers 
The [D]singers and the [G]sinners and the [A]breakers of the mould 
We’re the [D]lovers and the [G]leavers the [Bm]lonely self de[A]ceivers 
We [G]are the music [A]makers and the hard men for the [D]road 

[D] [A] [G]

You’ll see our battered wagons on the highway 
Makin’ pitstops at a thousand nameless bars 
We’re living for the moment and the music 
Singing songs and reaching for the stars 
But sometimes in the heart of all the madness 
There are moments money cannot buy 
When the singer and the song just come together 
And the music is pure magic and that’s why
