[Cm] I had [F] a dream.
I had [D] a dream.
I [Gm] had [Cm] a dream.
I [F]
had a dream.
[Bb] I had a dream. Joe.
I had [Gm] a dream, Joe.
You were standing in the middle of an open road.
I had a dream, Joe.
Your injuries fell to the sky.
Your mouth was covered in foam.
I had a dream, Joe.
You said that you'd Jesus.
You pitted it from a tree to a tree.
I had a dream, Joe.
The society of whores, thugs, and eagles in the image of me.
I had a dream, Joe.
The salt and thyme, the cliff, the ladies in the haze.
I had a dream, Joe.
A pimp in a sheer [Eb] suck suit, sucker to pick, [Gm] and pointed his finger at me.
[F] I had [D] a dream.
I [Gm] had [Cm] a dream.
I had a dream.
I [F] had a dream.
[Bb] Joe.
Joe.
I [F] opened [Gm] my eyes, Joe.
The night of doom and shine, the crippling and the beast and the morn.
I opened my eyes, Joe.
For the innocent cries all stacked up against the door.
I opened my eyes, Joe.
A little morning light, [Eb] slowly tumbling through [D] the crack in [Gm] the window.
I opened my eyes, Joe.
And I thought of you, man.
And I felt like I was slugging a body on my [Cm] bed.
I [F] had a dream.
I had [D] a dream.
[Gm] I had [Cm] a dream.
I [F] had a dream.
[Bb] I had a dream. Joe.

[Gm]
Joe.
Oh, I'm that [Eb]
senseless, I'm that [Gm] demented, fragile,
Where did you go, Joe?
And with a bit of the waltz and a bit of the breeze.
Where you moving?
Where did you go, Joe?
All dressed up and you're ridiculous.
See you suck a suit.
Where did you go, Joe?
So I'm blessed to have wreckage
Forever in the [Cm] heliopause
Oh [F] yeah, I had a [D] dream
[Gm] I had [Cm] a dream
I [F] had a dream [Bb] Joe
I [Cm]
[F] had a dream
[D] I had [Gm] a dream
