"The original appears to be in key of Bf; if you love bar chords
try this with bflat, F7, cminor instead. I have written it in the
key of A for sanity.
Enya does this with a simple pick: T234 T3 (or some variation thereof)
VOCAL VERSION:
(it's simple, but it works) -just pick the chords; this song is meant to
show off vocal improvisation, and the very nice slides up to the higher
notes. And don't spare the sentimentality; Remember valentine's day
isn;t that far away!
Time sig: feels like a 3/4 to me:
A E7 A
I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
E7 (bm) (E7) A
with vassals and serfs by my side
A E7 A
And-of all those who assembled within those walls
E7 (Bm) (E7) A
that I was the hope and the pride.
--------------------------------------------------------
**if picking ignore the optional chords; nice for strumming)
A E7 Bm A
I had riches too great to count
E7 Bm E E7
and a high ancestral name ...... but
A E7 A
I also dreamt which pleased me most .....that
E7 (Bm) A
you loved me still the same.
A Bm (A) E7 Bm A
That you loved me.... you loved still the same;
A Bm (A) E7 Bm A
that you loved me ...you loved me still the same;
A E7 (Bm) D E7 A
that you loved me still.........the same..
-----------------------------------------------------------
vocal note: keep up the momentum, building on the last
4 lines; don't insert a rest between lines.

Second verse:
-------------
A E7 A
I dreamt that suitors sought my hand
E7 (bm) E7 A
that knights upon bended knee
A Eu A
and with vows no maiden's heart could withstand
E7 (bm) E7 A
they pledged their faith to me.
---------------------------------
A E7 Bm A
And I dreamt that one of the noble host
E7 Bm E E7
came forth my hand to claim.....But
A E7 A
.. I also dreamt which pleased me most....that
Bm (A) Em Bm A
you loved me , you loved me still the same........
A Bm (A) E7 Bm A
that you loved me ...you loved me still the same;
A E7 (Bm) D E7 A
that you loved me still.........the same..
