Joan Baez – I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine (Guitar)

A
[tab] D              A
Alive as you or me,

       B         D
In the utmost misery,

       A
With a blanket underneath his arm

      D
And a coat of solid gold,

A                 F#m   C#m
Searching for the very souls

 D                      A
Whom already have been sold.

  A
"Arise, arise," he cried so loud,

        D              A
With a voice without restraint,

     Bm7     B7       D
And hear my sad complaint.

    A
No martyr is among ye now

       D
Whom you can call your own,

        A      C#m   F#m    C#m
But go on your way accordingly

     D                A
And know you're not alone."

   A
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,

 D                A
Alive with fiery breath,

 B                   D
Who put him out to death.

    A
Oh, I awoke in anger,

     D
So alone and terrified,

  A       C#m     F#m         C#m
I put my fingers against the glass

     D                 A
And bowed my head and cried.
