It was all over by quarter past.
[G] I was down in the sewer [C] with some little lover [D] when I peeked out from a manhole [G] cover wondering
who turned the lights [C] on.
[D] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, I got up [C] and I walked around [D] up and down the lonesome town [G] just wondering which
[C] way to go.
I lit a [D] cigarette on a parking meter and I walked on [G] down the road.
It was a normal day.

_ _ _ _ _ _ Down the corner [C] by the hot dog [D] stand, I saw a [G] man.
I said, howdy, friend.
I [C] guess it's just us two.
[D] He screamed down the road.
He [G] flew. _ _ _
_ [C] I thought it was a communist.
_ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I remember [C] reading some newspaper [D] ads, so I turned on McConnell Rad, [G] but I didn't pay
the [C] con ed [D] bill, so the radio didn't work so [G] well.
I turned on my record player. _
[C] _ That didn't work either.
I looked in the [D] closet, though, and there was Donovan.

[C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Well, I spot a [C] girl before she could [D] leave.
I say, let's go play Adam and [G] Eve.
I take her by the heart in my hand or something.
She said, [D] hey, man, are you crazy or [G] something? _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] You saw what happened last time they started that.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ By that [C] time, I was feeling blue [D] and needed somebody to talk to.
[G] I saw a call of the operator of time [D] just to hear a voice of some [G] kind.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] She said, when you hear the beep, _ [G] _ [D] _
it will be three o'clock. _
She said that for about a month, and I hung up. _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ It [C] erupted me just about [D] then, saying, I've been having the same [G] old dream, but mine's
different, don't you see?
I dreamt [D] the only person left after the war was [G] me. _ _
I [C] didn't see you around.
_ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Time [C] passed, and now it seems [D] everybody has [G] those dreams.
Everybody sees itself [D] walking around with nobody [G]
else.
_ _ _ [C] While some of the people can be half right part of the time, _ [D] _
_ _ all of the people can be
part right some of the time, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ half the people can be part right all of the time, _ _ but all
of the people can't be all right all of the time. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ T.S. Elliot said that. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in your dream, I said that.
