PROCOL HARUM – An Old English Dream from the "The Well's On Fire" album (2003) [Intro] C F G F x2 [Verse 1]
C                  F    
They say this fair city 

G                Am
Has ten thousand souls

F            C
Some live in mansions

                 G
And some live in holes

C             F/A
Some eat from silver

G                 Am
And some eat from gold

F                 C
Some sift through garbage

                 G
And sleep in the cold

                 C     F    C
Sleep out in the cold
[Chorus 1]
              Am                            D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars

G            C                        D      G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars

      G#dim     Am                        D      G
And a babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream

       G#dim       Am          G          F       C     F  G  F
And an old English church yard and an old English dream
[Verse 2]
C             F
Once we had a country

G                 Am
And thought it so fair

F                       C
If you look through the mirror

                      G
You can still find it there

C                 F/A
But now our great country

G             Am
Is broken and torn

F              C
And all of its promise

              G
And liberties worn

                     C    F    C
All of its liberties worn
[Chorus 2]
              Am                            D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars

G            C                        D      G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars

      G#dim     Am                        D      G
And a babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream

       G#dim       Am          G          F       C     
And an old English church yard and an old English dream
[Instrumental] C F G Am F C G [Verse 3]
C                      F
I saw a great plain in winter

G              Am
All covered in snow

F            C
Ten thousand soldiers

               G
Marched to and fro

C                   F/A
I saw a broken down building

G                 Am
With ten thousand doors

F            C
None of them open

             G
None of them yours

                  C     F  C  G  C  F  C
Not a one of them yours
[Chorus 3]
              Am                            D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars

G            C                        D      G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars

      G#dim     Am                        D      G
And a babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream

       G#dim       Am          G          F       C     F   G
And an old English church yard and an old English dream

           F       C     F   G
And an old English dream

           F       C    
And an old English dream
