Verse 1
A (G minor) Dream Record, (A minor) June (G major) 8th, 1955. (D major)
(F sharp minor) The title is literal, A Dream Record. (G major) (G minor) (G major)
A drunken night in my house. (G major)
(G minor) Shhh. (E major) (G minor) (G major)
(G major) (F sharp minor) (G major) I
don't want to corrupt you. (F sharp minor) (G major)
(E major)
(G major) A drunk (A flat minor) en night in my (F sharp minor) house,
(G major) San Francisco,
(A flat minor) I lay asleep, (G major) darkness,
these are all separated by (F major) colons. (F sharp minor) (G major)
A drunken night in my house,
San Francisco,
(G major) I lay asleep, darkness.
I revisited Mexico City
and saw Joan Burrows leaning
forward in a garden chair,
arms (B flat major) on her knees.
(G major) She studied me with clear (B flat major) eyes
and ironic smile,
(G major) her face (B flat major) restored to a fine beau (G major) ty,
tequila and salt had (G major) made strange
before (F major) the bullet in her brow. (E minor) (E major)
(A minor) We talked of a life since (F major) then.
(A minor) Well, what's Burroughs doing
now?
Bill on earth, North Africa.
(G major) Where's (F major) Julie staying then,
with your (F sharp minor) parents?
(F major) Oh, in (D major) Karawack?
(F major) Jack still jumps
with the same beat genius as (B flat major) before,
notebooks filled with (E major) Buddha.
I hope he makes it, she laughed.
(C major) Is Hunky still in the can?
No, last time I saw him on Times Square.
in (G major) the house Lucien,
(A minor) married, drunk,
and golden (E major) in the East.
(F major) You, new kicks in the West. (G minor)
Then I knew she was (E major) a dream
and (F major) questioned her. (E major)
Joan, what (A flat minor) kind of
knowledge have the dead? (A minor)
(B flat major) Can they still love these mortal
acquaintances?
What do you re (G minor) member of us? (E minor)
She faded in front (F major) of me.
The next instant,
I saw her rain -stained (C major) tombstone rear
an il (B flat major) legible epitaph
under the gnarled branch
of a small tree in the wild (A flat minor) grass
of an unvisited garden (F major) in Mexico. (E major)
