Impossible Dreamer

(Note to purists:  This version is not necessarily the exact way Joni plays
it on the recording.  I believe Joni wrote this song on piano, but this is
my guitar version.)  Any suggestions for changes are gratefully received at

   Impossible Dreamer,    Impossible Dreamer

The moon was bright
Like day for night
And I thought of you
I thought of you
Dreamer
No acid rain
Love without pain
Impossible
Impossible Dreamer

Chorus

The room was dark
And full of sharks
and I thought of you
I thought of you
Dreamer
Give peace a chance
Don't think just dance
Impossible
Impossible dreamer

Chorus
