tune Transposed: semitones

[D]The woman was a dream I had though rather hard to keep
[C]For when my eyes were watching hers,
[G]They closed, and I was still asleep
[D]For when my hand was holding hers,
[A]She whispered words and I awoke
[C]And faintly bouncing around the room the echo of whomever spoke
[D]I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room,
[A]The echo of whomever spoke
[C]The place I saw was far beneath the surface of the sea
My sight was poor but I was sure the sirens sang their songs for me
[C]They dance above me as I sink I see them through a crystal haze
[C]And in a sweet sound bouncing round the never ending coral maze
[D]That time then and once again I'm bouncing around the room
