A (G major) crazy dream once came
Verse 1
(G major)
to me,
I dreamed I was working in World War 3.
I went to the doctor the very next day
to (D major) see what kind of words he would say. (G major)
He said it was a bad dream.
I wouldn't worry about none though,
them old dreams is only in your head.
Doc, a well -wise past through my brain
He (D major) said, get your bed,
there's a boy's in (G major) sane
He (D major) grabbed my arm and I said, ouch
As I landed on the psychiatric couch
He said, do me a favour
Well, (G major) (D major) the whole thing (G major) star
ted at three o 'clock (D major) fast
It was all over by quarter past
I was down in the sewer
with some little lover
And I peeked out from a
(G major) manhole (D major) cover
Wonder he knew I'd turned the lights on
Well, I got (G major) up and walked around
Up and down a lonesome town,
wondering which way I should go
I (D major) lit a cigarette and I (G major) walked down (D major) the road
It (G major) was a normal day
Well I rung the fallout shel (D major) ter bell
and I leaned on (G major) my head and I gave a yell
Give (D major) me a (G major) string bean, (D major) I'm a hungry (G major) man,
it's shotgun fired and away I ride (D major) (G major)
I don't blame (D major) them too much though,
I know I look a bit funny (G major) (D major) (G major)
Down at the (D major) corner by a hot dog stand,
I seen a man
I said, howdy friend,
I guess it's just us (G major) two
And he screamed a bit and a wave flew (D major)
(G major) He thought (D major) I was a Liberal Democrat (G major) (D major)
(G major) Well, I spied a girl
and before she could leave
I said, let's go play Adam and Eve
I took her by the hand
and my (D major) heart was thumped
She said, hey man,
(G major) are you crazy (D major) or something?
You see what happened
the last time they started?
Well, I seen a can of lack uptown
And there was no one around
I got into the driver's seat
And I drove down to 42nd (G major) Street
In my Cadillac,
good car to drive after a war
And I remember seeing some ad (B minor) s,
so (G major) I turned (D major) on my Conair RAD
But I didn't pay my Conair bill,
so my radio didn't work so well
So I turned on my record player
It (G major) was Rocket (D major) A. Johnny singing,
tell you ma, I'll tell you pa,
(G major) Adlabs are gonna grow oowah
(D major) I was feeling kinda lonesome and blue
I needed someone to talk to,
so I called up the operator of Time
(G major) Just to hear a voice of some kind (D major)
When you hear the bleep,
it will be three o 'clock
She said that for over an hour and a half
Well, the doctor interrupted me
just about (G major) then
He (D major) said, hey, I've been having (G major) them
same old dreams
But mine was different, you see
I dreamt the only per (D major) son
left after the war (G major) was me
I didn't see you (G major) around
Well, time has passed and
now it seems
(D major) Everybody's having them dreams
Everybody (F major) sees themselves
walking (D major) round with no one else (G major)
Well, (C major) half of the people
(D major) can be (G major) part right all (C major) of the time
(G major) An (D major) (G major) d some of the people
can (C major) be all (D major) right part of the time
But (G major) all (D major) of the people can't
(G major) be alright all of the time. (D major)
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
(G major) I'll let you be in my dreams
if I can be in yours.
Bob Dylan said that.
