Capo I *
 
C                  F
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
G                                      C
starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee
                         F
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
G                                       C
lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
 
C                  F
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
G                                   C
list while I woo thee with soft melody
                      F
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,

G                             C
beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
 
C                   F
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me,
G                             C
beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
                           F
Mermaids are chaunting the wild Lorelie;
G                             C
over the streamlet vapors are borne,
 
C                      F
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn,
G                             C
beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart
                        F
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
G                                C
then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
 
G                             C
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
F         C         G         C
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
