Dreamin' Again - guitar chords and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

Good artists should be forced to stay on the ground. On September 20th 1973 a Beechcraft plane crashed into a pecan tree in Louisiana at takeoff, ending the promising career of both Jim Croce and lead guitarist Maury Muehleisen. Also the agent, the road manager, a comedian and the pilot perished. The team had just got a breakthrough with "Bad Leroy Brown", and the future seemed bright.
Despite of this, Croce thought about leaving music business to get more time with the family. A letter his wife Ingrid received after his death closes with "Remember, it’s the first 60 years that count and I’ve got 30 to go. I love you".
This song is from "Life and Times" (1973), his forth studio album, and essential to his many fans. A fifth album "I Got a Name" was released posthumously; finished just before the plane crash. Sure, he got a name - only thirty years old.
I'd like to stress the importance of Maury Muehleisen, thus there's a link to his tribute site at the bottom of the page, as well as Jim's. His splendid harmonies and special fingerpicking were a perfect match to Croce's songs. He's been a major inspiration to my own treating of the guitar, together with Happy Traum and Stefan Grossman. Bless their memories.

A                 A/G#   A/F#      A
don't you know I had a dream last night
D                      A
and you were here with me
      Amaj7  F#m              Bm  ...E7
lyin' by my side so soft and warm
        A         A/G#      A/F#     A
and we talked a while and shared a smile
D                       A
and then we shared the dawn
            Dmaj7          C#m         Bm  ...E7
but when I woke up oh my dream it was gone
             A       Amaj7      A
I had been dreamin'  dreamin' again

    A7       D              E7
I'm not the same  can you blame me
       A      Amaj7  F#m
is it hard to understand
            D               E7
I can't forget  you can't change me
      A        Amaj7   F¤m  ...Bm  E7
I am not that kind of man
