NOTE FOR PLAYERS:
An easy song. All along the verse there's only one chord: G. Roddy plays a fill of
arpeggio variations over this one. If you want, play the fill based on G(open) as I
indicate below. If you're not able to play it, use only G open and let it ring.
Notice that the last chorus is one tune higher.

I dream a dumb dream

The times are a changin'
The lovers are learnin'
Ringing out the bells
