Sharon,

This song is burned into my memories ...

Daydream Believe
Monkees

Oh I could [F] hide 'neath the [Gm7] wings
Of the [Am] bluebird as she [Bb] sings
The [F] six-o-clock a[Dm]larm would never [G7] ring [C7]
But it [F] rings and I [Gm7] rise
Wash the [Am] sleep out of my [Bb] eyes
My [F] shaving [Dm] razor's [Bb] cold [C7] and it [F] stings

[Bb] Cheer up [C7] sleepy [Am] Jean [Bb]
Oh what [C] can it [Dm] mean [Bb] to a [F] daydream be[Bb]liever
And a [F] home [Dm] coming [G7] queen [C7]

[F] You once thought of [Gm7] me
As a [Am] white knight on a [Bb] steed [F]
Now you know how [Dm] happy life can [G7] be [C7]
And our [F] good times start and [Gm7] end
Without [Am] dollar one to [Bb] spend
But [F] how much [Dm] baby [Bb] do we [C7] really [F] need

[Bb] Cheer up [C7] sleepy [Am] Jean [Bb]
Oh what [C] can it [Dm] mean [Bb] to a [F] daydream be[Bb]liever
And a [F] home [Dm] coming [G7] queen [C7]

[Bb] Cheer up [C7] sleepy [Am] Jean [Bb]
Oh what [C] can it [Dm] mean [Bb] to a [F] daydream be[Bb]liever
And a [F] home [Dm] coming [G7] queen [C7]

[Bb] Cheer up [C7] sleepy [Am] Jean [Bb]
Oh what [C] can it [Dm] mean [Bb] to a [F] daydream be[Bb]liever
And a [F] home [Dm] coming [G7] queen [C7] [F]

I know, me too!! Thanks for your help, I posted both keys. The key of F is a little low for me, but I bet you'd do a fantastic job with it :)
