We Dreamed Our Dreams Lyrics And Chords

Recorded by The Furey Brothers And Davie Arthur, who sang another song about Dreaming titled ''Dreaming My Dreams Of You [ song words ]. Written By Richard Farrelly who also wrote The Isle Of Innisfree Song. To play along with The Fureys use the guitar chords I have given. Also included is another Fureys song ''Sweet And Gentle Love.
​Intro chords as played by The Fureys
F  D     G  Em  A  C  D   G Em A

[C]We dreamed our [D]dreams as we walked on the Wick[A]low byway
[A]Your promise came like a [D]lark's re[G]frain, warm and [A]true
And I gave my promise, too[D]

[D]We dreamed our dreams as we kissed in the summer [A]gladness
And then the cry, it would [D]be good-[G]bye and you'd be gone[A]
Like the swallow, you'd be [D]gone

[D]With autumn's chill in my [G]hills I stood a[D]lone
I [C]called your na[D]me and heard a sil[Em]ence[A]
Where[D] are you now?

[D]as I linger where vows were [A]whispered?
Another spring the [D]sweet lark [G]sings, I feel the pain[A]
Did we dream our [D]dreams in vain?

Music break chords

F  D   Em G A

We [C]dreamed our [D]dreams as we walked on the [A]Wicklow byway
Your promise came like a [D]lark's re[G]frain, warm and true[A]
And I gave my promise, [D]too

[D]With autumn's chill in my [G]hills I stood a[D]lone
I [C]called your na[D]me and heard a sil[Em]ence[A]
Where[G] are you [D]now?


[D]as I linger where [A]vows were whispered?
It's another spring the [D]sweet lark [G]sings, I feel the pain[A]
Did we dream our dreams in [d]vain?

​Sweet And Gentle Love Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords By The Furey Brothers And Davie Arthur. To play along with the Fureys use the first set of chords. I' have also given the song in an easy version of G Major.

And a [F]sweet and [C]gentle [F]love for a [Bb]sweet and gentle [F]lady
It's [Bb]locked inside my heart, for [Gm]she is with a[C]nother
So my [F]secret love must stay, a [Bb]secret love for[F]ever
My [Bb]love she does not know, and from [Gm]me she'll not dis[C]cover

That I [Gm]love her more each day, like a [F]flower loves the sunshine
Never [Bb]thought that love could [C]hurt me, she [F]never will be [Bb]mine
No she [F]nev[Bb]er will [F]be mine[Am][C].

I've a [F]problem of my heart, I [Bb]can't share with no [F]other
I must [Bb]stop this heart from dreaming, I'm [Gm]not free to love[C] her

Yet I [Gm]love her more each day, like the [F]flower loves the sunshine
Never [Bb]thought that love could [C]hurt me, she [F]never will be[Bb] mine
No she [F]never [Bb]will be [F]mine[Am].

I've this [F]sadness [C]in my [F]heart but I [Bb]should be happy [F]for her
Soon she'll [Bb]wed my dearest friend and I [Gm]know he'll [C]be proud of her

But I [Gm]love her more each day, like a [F]flower loves the sunshine
Never [Bb]thought that love could [C]hurt me, she [F]never will be [Bb]mine
No she [F]never [Bb]will be[F] mine[Am][Gm].
[F]]No she never[Am] [Bb]will [C]be mine.
