G  C  G
When midnight comes and people homeward tread, 
C  G
Seek out your blanket and your feathered bed, 
D  G
Home comes the rover, his journey's over 
C  G
Yield up the night time to old John О'Dreams 
C  G
Yield up the night time to old John О'Dreams 

G  C  G
Across the hill the sun has gone astray 
C  G
Tomorrows cares are many dreams a way 
D  G
The stars are flying, your candle's dying 
C  G
Yield up the night time to old John О'Dreams 
C G
Yield up the night time to old John О'Dreams 

G  C  G
Both man and master in the night are one 
C  G
All things are equal when the day is done

The prince and the ploughman, the slave the free man 
C  G
All find their comfort in old John О'Dreams 
C  G
All find their comfort in old John О'Dreams 

G  C  G
When sleep it comes the dreams come running clear 
C  G
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here 
D  G
Sleep is a river, flow on for ever 
C  G
And for your boatman choose old John О'Dreams 
C  G
Yes for your boatman choose old John О'Dreams
