[Chorus]
Cm      F
I had a dream

        D
I had a dream

         Gm
I had a dream

Cm      F      Bb

[Verse]
[tab]         Gm
[tab]                         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
