Version 1 Version 2The River of Dreams - Billy Joel [Chorus 1] G G In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep C D From the mountains of faith to the river so deep G G I must be looking for something, something sacred I lost C D But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross [Verse 1] Em D Even though I know the river is wide C Bm I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore C Bm I try to cross to the opposite side A7 D So I can finally find out what I've been looking for [Chorus 2] G G In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep C D Through the valley of fear to a river so deep G G I've been searching for something taken out of my soul C D Something I could never lose, something somebody stole [Verse 2] Em D I don't know why I go walking at night C Bm But now I'm tired and I don't wanna walk anymore C Bm I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life A7 D Until I find what it is I've been looking for [Chorus 3] G G In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep C D Through the jungle of doubt to the river so deep G G I know I'm searching for something, something so undefined C D That it only can be seen by the eyes of the blind G C D In the middle of the night [Verse 3] Em D Not sure about a life after this C Bm God knows I've never been a spiritual man C Bm A7 Baptized by fire, I wade into the river D That is runnin' through the promised land [Chorus 4] G G In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep C D Through the desert of truth to the river so deep G G We all end in the ocean, we all start in the streams C D We're all carried along by the river of dreams G In the middle of the night
