| Song: |
3/4 time - slowly.
7 -7 7 6 5 -4 4 -4 -6
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
6 -7 -6 -6 6 5 -5 5 -4 4
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
7 -7 7 6 5 -4 4 -4 -6
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
-7 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 5 -4 4 4
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
6 -5 -4 -3 -6 6 6 5 4
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
7 -7 7 -6 -8 7 -7 7 -6 6
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
7 -7 7 6 5 -4 4 -4 -6
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,
-7 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 5 -4 4 4
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
-6 -7 7 7 6 5 -5 5 -4 4
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
*This ballad sounds great played
with a Bb/A# key (straight harp).
Or you could crossharp it in a Eb
key. But if you don't have those
keys, don't let that stop you. It
will sound fine in any key.
*Words & Music By Stephen C. Foster
1825-1864 (Beautiful Dreamer was the
last song written by Stephen Foster
in 1862 and was published after his
death in 1864)
