A complete version of the Dream to live song by Great Big Sea. The existing chords were
missing 2 lines and some chords. I'm not sure about the second B minor in the pre chorus
before the first chorus…
 
Capo on 1st fret!
 
D            A              Bm              G
Set off for America far across the ragin' sea
        D                  A
From the frozen coves of my island home
  Bm                G
To the land of liberty
D                      A
I have to leave my girl behind
Bm             G
Until I make my way
D                     A
Oh Molly dear please wait for me
           Bm         G
I'll come back for you some day
 
D                  A
We landed hard in Boston
         Bm             G
and I'd never seen the like
D                     A
A small boat boy from around the bay
        Bm              G
In this sea of shining lights
D              A
Two days in I got a job
          Bm              G
Building towers of high steel
   D                A
I had to learn, to not look down
       Bm                  G
And I quickly learned to kneel
 
       A         Bm            A    Bm
And I wonder if this will ever end
       A             D     Bm           A
And I wonder if I'll ever see your face again
 
CHORUS:
 
D                  Bm
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G                 A
In your loving arms, to mend
    D
We sleep to dream
      Bm
And we dream to live
      G                A
Will I live to love you again
 
D              A
I saved every cent I could
         Bm                 G
But the months turned into years
D                        A
Then a letter came from Molly
     Bm                   G
and confirmed my deepest fears
D                    A
She would no longer wait for me,
       Bm             G
she'd found a better man
   D                   A
I might have been in America,
        Bm             G
but my heart was broken
            D
In Newfoundland
 
CHORUS:
 
D                  Bm
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G                 A
In your loving arms, to mend
    D
We sleep to dream
      Bm
And we dream to live

Will I live to love you again

All I need,  all I need
D   A  Bm  G  D  A  Bm
G  D A
All I need,  all I need
 
D                   A
My working days are over now
         Bm                G
And my children have all grown
D                     A
I did the best with what I had
          Bm           G
But some days I feel alone
D                A
I often wonder where you are
    Bm                G
Do you still know my name
D                     A
Deep inside this old man's heart
           Bm                G
There's a love that still remains
 
CHORUS
 
D                  Bm
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G                 A
In your loving arms, to mend
    D
We sleep to dream
      Bm
And we dream to live
      G                A
Will I live to love you again
D                  Bm
All I need is one good nights sleep
        G                 A
In your loving arms, to mend
    D
We sleep to dream
      Bm
And we dream to live

Will I live to love you again
