It's A Dream Come True Lyrics And Chords By Isla Grant
[D]It's a dream come true, standing here, [G]sharing time with you
It's not so very long a[A]go, I thought I'd never see a[D]nother show,[A]
But [D]then I asked my Lord, to give me strength to face the [G]world again
I prayed each night, don't [A]let the music end
It's what I know, it's been my life, it's what I do
Give me hope and make my dreams [D]come true
[D]Every day I ask my[G]self if [G]I am [D]dreaming
In my troubled mind I [A]try to find a meaning,[D]
My world is filled [G]with all kinds of con[D]fusion
Could this be real or just some[A] sad illusion
[D]Now it's been a long hard mountain for [G]me to [D]climb
Thoughts of [A]giving up has happened many [D]times
But always in my [G]heart I guess I al[D]ways knew
Without a song for me [A]there's nothing left to [D]do
It's a [D]dream come true, standing here, sharing [G]time with you
It's not so very long a[A]go, I thought I'd never see a[D]nother show,[A]
But then [D]I asked my Lord, to give me strength to face the[G] world again
I prayed each night, don't [A]let the music end
It's what I know, it's been my life, it's what I do
Give me hope and make my [D]dreams come true
[D] [A] [G] [A] [D]

💡 Playing Tips
Fingerpicking pattern (P–I–M–A):
Thumb plays the root note (D/A/E string depending on chord).
Fingers pluck G–B–E strings gently, keeping flow consistent.
Strumming:
Use a soft wrist and muted strums for intimacy.
Alternate fingerpicking (verses) and strumming (chorus or buildup) for contrast.
Ending:
Finish with a slow arpeggiated D chord letting all notes ring naturally.
