[Verse 1]

 G       D                            G
 Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming,
        D                 G
 Sayin' something about a queen.
             D                    A
 There where peasants singin' and drummers drummin'
         G                A
 And the archer split the tree.
             Bm              C
 There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun
          G               C
 that was floating on the breeze.
 D                     A
 Look at Mother Nature on the run
        C             G
 In the nineteen seventies.
 D                     A
 Look at Mother Nature on the run
        C             G
 In the nineteen seventies.


[Verse 2]
      D                     G
I was lying in a burned out basement
       D               G
With a full moon in my eye
      D          A
I was hoping for replacement
         G                     A
When the sun burst through the sky
            Bm           C
There was a band playing in my head
      G                 C
And I felt like getting high
      D                       A
I was thinking about what a friend had said
      C                G
I was hoping it was a lie
D                       A
Thinking about what a friend had said
      C                G
I was hoping it was a lie

[Verse 3]
G      D                        G
Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceship flying
       D                  G
In the yellow haze of the sun
           D                   A
There were children crying and colors flying
    G                 A
All around the chosen one
         Bm              C
All in a dream, all in a dream
    G           C
The loading had begun
D                      A
Flying mother nature's silver seed
     C               G
To a new home in the sun
D                      A
Flying mother nature's silver seed
     C               G
To a new home...
