      [Chorus]
Cm      F
I had a dream
        D
I had a dream
         Gm
I had a dream
Cm      F      Bb
I had a dream, Joe

[Verse]
         Gm
I had a dream, Joe
                         Eb                D
You were standing in the middle of an open road
        Gm
I had a dream, Joe
Gm
Your hands were raised up to the sky
          Eb                  D
And your mouth was covered in foam
        Gm
I had a dream, Joe
                Eb                   D
A shadowy Jesus flitted from tree to tree
         Gm
I had a dream, Joe
                              Eb                     D
And a society of whores stuck needles in an image of me
        Gm
I had a dream, Joe
                        Eb               D
It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves
            Gm
And in that dream, Joe
                          Eb
A pimp in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick
    D                     Cm
And pointed his finger at me

[Chorus]
Cm      F
I had a dream,
         D
(I had a dream)
        Gm
I had a dream,
Cm       F     Bb
I had a dream, Joe

[Verse]
             Gm
I opened my eyes, Joe
                               Eb                  D
The night had been a giant, dribbling and pacing the boards
            Gm
I opened my eyes, Joe
                                 Eb               D
All your letters and cards stacked up against the door
             Gm
I opened my eyes, Joe
                            Eb                 D
The morning light came slowly tumbling through the crack
          Gm
In the window, Joe
                  Eb                    D
And I thought of you and I felt like I was lugging
 
   Cm
A body on my back

[Chorus]
Cm      F
I had a dream,
         D
(I had a dream)
        Gm
I had a dream,
Cm       F     Bb
I had a dream, Joe

[Verse]
              Gm
Where did you go, Joe?
                        Eb            D
On that endless, senseless, demented drift
              Gm
Where did you go, Joe?
                                      Eb             D
Into the woods, into the trees, where you move and shift
              Gm
Where did you go, Joe?
                        Eb                     D
All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit
              Gm
Where did you go, Joe?
            
With that strew of wreckage
 Eb              D             Cm
Forever at the heel of your boot

[Chorus]
Cm      F
I had a dream,
        Gm
I had a dream,
Cm       F     Bb
I had a dream, Joe
Cm      F
I had a dream,
        Gm
I had a dream,
Cm       F     Bb
I had a dream, Joe
