  Subject: TAB: Great Dream From Heaven (Joseph Spence)

  

  keithr5165@aol.com (KeithR5165) posted Ry Cooder's lovely arrangement

  of "Great Dream From Heaven."  I thought I'd follow up with the tab that

  I have for the song, as well as the lyrics.

  

  The song was written by Joseph Spence, the legendary guitarist from the

  Bahamas.  Spence played gospel music with a unique style that bears

  close study.

  

  I got this tablature from my guitar teacher, John Lumsdaine.

  

  

  

                            GREAT DREAM FROM HEAVEN

  

                                (Joseph Spence)

  

  

  

  D                      G           D

  Had a great dream from heaven last night

  

                           G          A

  The angels in heaven are calling me home

  

        D                G           D 

  Thank God I can sing a song of his love

  

                          A        D

  I know some day I'll be singing above

  

  

  

  Chorus:

  

  G        A         D

  Glory to Jesus who saved us from sin

  

                      G          A 

  Glory to Jesus, our freedom in him

  

        D                G           D

  Thank God I can sing a song of his love

  

                          A        D

  I know some day I'll be singing above

  

  

  

  When mother and father forsake me, I know

  The angels in heaven are calling me home

  Thank God I can sing a song of his love

  I know some day I'll be singing above
