Verse 1:

F            Am
I'm dreaming dreams,
Fmaj7        Dm
I'm scheming schemes,
F            CdimDdim C     C7
I'm building cas-tles high.

Bb             Gm
They're born a -new,
C7             C9
Their days are few,
C7          C9           F   F6
Just like a sweet butter -fly

A7                     Dm   Dm7
And as the daylight is dawn-
G           G7          Gm7 C7  C+
They come a-gain in the morn-ing

Chorus:

F           C7      F      F7
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Bb                    F  F7
Pretty bubbles in the air
Bb          F
They fly so high
Bb               F
Nearly reach the sky
G            G7
Then like my dreams,
    C        C7   C+
Theyfade and die.
        
F                A7
Fortune's always hiding,
Dm          Bb    A7   C7
I've looked every where
F           C7      F      Dm
I'm forever blowing bubbles
       G7      Gm7C7  F  C7
Pretty bubbles in the air.

Verse 2:

F            Am
When shadows creep,
Fmaj7       Dm
 When I'm a sleep,
F           Cdim DdimC7
To lands of hope I stray.

Bb          Gm
Then at day break,
C7        C9
 When I a-wake,
C7          C9        F
My bluebird flutters a-way.

A7                    Dm   Dm7
Happiness you seem so near me,
G         G7             Gm7   C7 C+
Happiness come forth and cheer me.
