[Intro]
A D A

[Verse 1]
               D
I'm a dreamer by nature
G                 D
And I've always been tryin'
E                                A
To dream myself out of this world that I'm in
D                     G             D
In my dreams I escape all the troubles around
                     D
And it hasn't cost a penny
A            D             A7
For the pleasures I've found

[Chorus]
                 D
What is the part
               G
That I'll play today
A                 G           D
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
                      D
I've played many parts
               G
And I'm the first to agree
A               D                           A
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

[Verse 2]
                 D
I'm a dreamer by nature
G               D               
And I've always been
D               A7                A
Looking for something not there
             D
My financial position
G                  D
Don't bother my dreams
              D
'Cause in fairy tale money
A             D              A
I'm my own millionaire

[Chorus]
            D
What is the part
                     G
That I'll play today
A                       G                    D
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
             D             
I've played many parts
                  G
And I'm the first to agree
A                       D                 A
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me

[Verse 3]
                     D
I'm a rich man in dreams
G             D
But in real life I've hid
D                 E              A
From the fact that I've got me a wife and a kid
              D
If I lose what I've got
G                     D
Then they lose it too
D           A                 D                     A
Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do

[Chorus]
                D
What is the part
              G
That I'll play today
A                      G                        D
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
                D
I've played many parts
                        G
And I'm the first to agree
                              A
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
