The Furey Brothers Version
I [G]hope that i won't be that wrong anymore
And maybe i've learned this time
I hope that i find what i'm looking for
The way that it is,in my [D]mind
Chorus :
[C]Someday i'll get over you,
i [G]live to see it all through
But i'll [D]always miss,[D]dreaming my dreams with [G]you
Verse 2:
I [G]won't let it change me,not if i can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as i can
To those,that i'm fondest [D]of.
[C]Someday i'll get over you,
i [G]live to see it all through
But i'll [D]always miss,[D]dreaming my dreams with [G]you
I [G]hope that i won't be that wrong anymore
And maybe i've learned this time
I hope that i find what i'm looking for
The way that it is,in my [D]mind
Chorus :
[C]Someday i'll get over you,
i [G]live to see it all through
But i'll [D]always miss,[D]dreaming my dreams with [G]you
Verse 2:

I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as i can

[C]Someday i'll get over you,
i [G]live to see it all through
But i'll [D]always miss,[D]dreaming my dreams with [G]you

🎸 Optional Ending Strum
After the last line, softly strum:
G (↓ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑)
Let it ring out naturally to close.
🎧 Performance Tips
Verses: Use fingerpicking (T–M–T–I roll) — warm, reflective tone.
Chorus: Transition to gentle strumming — gives dynamic lift.
Use a capo on 3rd fret if you want to match the Waylon Jennings recording (he sings higher).
Keep the feel slow, steady, and intimate, letting open strings ring fully.
