MIKE OLDFIELD
HEAVEN'S OPEN - NO DREAM
Transcribbed by Smaointe - oldfielete@yahoo.es
This is my own interpretation of the song, it possibly doesn't match with Oldfield's interpretation
but it sounds pretty good!
   Intro: d d F C // d d F C
(1st verse)   
 d  
   An empty chair
      d  
   Is someone sitting there
   F
   Footsteps on the ground
           C
   Can you hear that sound
          d                d 
   Like a wild goose crying on a lonely wind
 F                          C
   Whispering leaves in the branches that bend
   
(Chorus)   
                 d
   This ain't no dream babe
 g  
   Alone in the night
 A                                 d
   Turn on the light this ain't no dream
           d     
   This is no dream
              g
   You didn't read this is no book
 A  
   Go take a look this ain't
 d  
   No Dream
   
   
(2nd verse)
   A restless flame                                          (Like 1st verse)
   Someone calls your name
   Through the empty hall casting shadows on the wall
   In the sound of emptiness
   Isolation
   Nowhere left to run now the time has come
   
(Chorus)                                                     (Like 1st chorus)
   
   
(3rd verse)
   An open door                                              (Like 1st verse)
   Glass all on the floor
   Hands have turned to white
   In the cold breeze of the night
   There's a face at the window
   Someone who you know
   Or who you used to be
   Could that somebody be me
   
   
(2nd chorus)   
   Dream babe alone in the night                             (Like 1st chorus)
   Turn on the light this ain't no dream
   This is no dream
   This is no book
   Go take a look this ain't no dream
   Solo: During electric guitar solo we can hear chords sounding backwards, and these chords are the same as in chorus
         d g A d d g A d . Repeat this 3 times and fade to end
