VAN HALEN-Dreams Tabbed by Cameron McNeill (rmcn@eisa.net.au) Standard tuning This is a great song, and I was really suprised that it hadn't been tabbed yet. The song starts off with a cool little intro thing that sounds great on an acoustic guitar. The rest of the song is just simple chords, and a really hard solo that I haven't figured out. Even though most of the chords are played on keyboard, it still sounds wicked if you play along with the recording, or in a band. The chords sound better if they are played as power chords.
