D G A D
[Verse 1]
D To all the poets I have known G Who saw the beauty in the common place A Saw incarnation in a Baby's face D And in a drop of rain the stars F#m When there was mud and blood and tears G You sang a song at night to calm our fears A You made a moment last a thousand years D You are the poets I have known D To all the poets I have known G You built a kingdom out of sea and sand A You conquered armies with a marching band D You carved a galaxy in stone F#m You built an altar out of bread G And spent your soul to see the children fed A You wove your heart in every story read D Thank God for poets I have known
[Chorus]
G And you keep on dreamin' D When the dreams all fade G When friends desert you Bm A You're the ones who stayed Em D G To write the prayers when every prayer had been prayed
[Verse 2]
D You are the poets I have known G You turned your tears into a string of pearls A You held your sorrow high to light the world D When I thought I was alone F#m In every man you saw the boy G The hidden heart the dark could not destroy A Slipped past the dragons with a tale of joy D Thank God for poets I have known
[Chorus]
G 'Cause you keep on dreamin' D When the dreams all fade G When friends desert you Bm A You're the ones who stayed Em D G To write the prayers when every prayer had been prayed
[Verse 3]
D You walking wounded of my life G Who bled compassion in the heat of strife A You stood between my heart and satan's knife D With just the armour of a song F#m You are the heroes and the brave G Who with a slender pen our passions save A And chisel epitaphs upon the graves D Of all the poets I have known
[Outro]
G So keep on dreamin' D Keep on dreamin' G So keep on dreamin' D Keep on dreamin' G D Keep on dreamin' G Keep on dreamin'
