_ _ _ _ _ Last night I had that same old dream, it rocked me in my sleep.
It left me the impression that the Sandman plays for keeps.
[A] I dreamed I was in concert on the [E] middle of a cloud.
[E] John Wayne and Billy Graham were giving breath mints to the [B] crowd.
I fell through a hole in heaven.
I left the stage for good.
[E] And when I landed on the earth, I was back in Hollywood. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ The California earthquake, it tore the land in half.
While San Andreas cleared her throat, I heard Tsunami laugh.
[A] The ground began to tremble, the land began to [E] sway.
And people in the other states, they were glad they'd moved [B] away.
But suddenly, California just floated in a breeze.
[E] While everything that wasn't, sank down into the seas. _
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] soon I saw Atlantis, rumble and rise high.
And the great egg of Euphrates, came down out of the [A] sky.
Out stepped Shirley Temple with Guy Kibbe, who was dead.
[E] And that communist Bill Robinson, whom Shirley [B] called Black Red.
They had a marionette, a harpo marked.
They said it was an inside joke.
[E] But when I honked his horn, he came alive.
And these were the words he spoke.
With _ _ _ _ _ the economy adrift, and the sun about to shift.
Will the ice cap drown us all?
[F#] We burn, _ _ _ _ we pollute what we own.
Will we reap what we have sown?
Are we headed for the end, or [B] can we turn?
_ _ _ _ [F#] [A] We pave the forest, kill the stream.
Burn the bridges to our [G] dreams.
The earth is bursting at the seams.
And in pain a childbirth [A] screams.
As it gives life to what seems to either be an age that dies.
[B]
Or simply lays there, dying.
_ [G] If this goes on for the last few [A] lives, how can it?
[G] Out of the grave, [A] or who will [E] save our planet? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] I said, I'm [E] pleased to meet you.
I always thought you were a scream.
He said, have you ever thought of having Helen Keller in your dream?
[A] I said, Errol Flynn dropped by, but he tried to steal my girl.
[E] Then she ran off with Ronald Coleman.
Said something about a new world.
[B] Now I'm stuck with my own cooking.
Hell, I'm lonely, can't you [E] see?
Willie grabbed my leg.
He [G] said exactly [E] 89 words to me. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Count them. _ _
_ _ Let the proud, but dying nation kiss the last generation.
It's the year of the pill.
[F#] Age of the gun.
_ _ _ _ _ We've landed on the moon.
But we'll clutter that up soon.
Our sense of freedom's gotten [B] out of hand. _ _ _
_ _ [A] We kill our children and swap our wives.
We've learned to greet a man with [G] knives.
We swallow pills and fours and fives.
[A] Our cities look like crumbling hives.
Man does [B] not live, he just survives.
_ _ [G] Love is a course we set [A] and wanted hardly.
_ [G] We left it all [A] so long [E] ago, you got it? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The storm snapped briskly, then went slack.
The marionette lay [G] dead.
While Hoover [E] played with the motorcade,
the body slumped and bled.
[A] The man who held the camera
disappeared into the crowd.
I [E] said the hope of youth,
kick-tissue's truth lays covered in a [B] shroud.
Then up walked Elmo Lincoln,
and he said, I beg your pardon,
[G] but we left it all [A] so long [E] ago, the garden? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] We left it all [A] so long [E] ago, the garden. _

_ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
