Dreaming (D Major)
Artist:
Blondie
Genre:
Power Pop
Tempo:
Brisk
Strum Pattern:
D – D U D U D U
Roman Numerals:
I, ii, IV, V
Instrument:
Guitar - Standard Tuning [E,A,D,G,B,E]
Song Notes:
NOTE: Where you see this symbol "(=)" it means that a new measure is starting, but don't change chords (I would write the chord in, instead of an equals sign, but then "transpose" won’t look right).
Probably easier to sing when transposed to C major. Blondie sings it in D major if you want to play along with the video.
Blondie, 1979.
