Verse 1

I had a dream the
other night when all the world was still
G 
Gsus2 
That I  walked out with Abraham
A 
below a fortress on a hill
D 
We looked across the Saint Charles River
to the heights that bear his Name
Gsus2 
G 
Gsus2 
A 
And talked   of things that had transpired since

D 
Gsus2 
the last time     that he came
D 
Says I on these fields grazed your cattle
raised on these your kith and kin
Gsus2 
G 
And on       this field was fiery battle
A 
Montcalm to lose and Wolfe to win
D 
Says he but they both died of wounds
inflicted by the cannonade
Gsus2 
G 
Gsus2 
These wounds it seems were never healed,
A 
they fester to this day

G 
D 
Gsus2 
For one a    field of shame
D 
What of your children Abraham
dispersed from this your plain
Gsus2 
G 
Gsus2 
The continent they conquered though they
A 
did it in another's name
D 
The land they won but for their
strife the profits went astray
Gsus2 
The money    never crossed their
G 
Asus4 
A 
palms or let them     have their say
D 
Abraham
Gsus2 
G 
D 
Are we sometimes    bound by pride
Em 
Too mindful of our hopes and
G 
dreams to let the anger slide

Abraham
D 
Abraham
When will this fighting end
When will we learn to recognize
Who is foe and who is friend

D 
What of the future Abraham
will we achieve some peace
Gsus2 
From these solitudes we wander
A 
in will there be a release
D 
Will my children learn to find a way
to bridge the distance I have not
G 
To learn the scars of history
A 
D 
are sometimes best forgotten
And I had a dream the other night
when all the world was still
Gsus2 
G 
That I        walked out with Ab raham
Gsus2 
A 
that Abraham was living still
D 
And in the dream we parted,
as families oftimes will
Gsus2 
Our questions left unanswered
A 
though not through lack of will
D 
Abraham
Gsus2 
D 
The questions    linger on
Em 
There is  no hope in all this strife
G 
There is no right or wrong
A 
Abraham
D 
G 
D 
This field that bears your name
Em 
For one a field of victory
A

For one a field of shame
