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
