G       D
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights 
   G
In armor coming, 
       D                 G
Saying something about a queen. 
           D                     A
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming 
        G                A
And the archer split the tree. 
            Bm                C
There was a fanfare blowing 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.

G     D                     G
I was lying in a burned out basement 
         D               G
With the full moon in my eyes. 
      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
I was thinking about what a friend had said
      C               G
I was hoping it was a lie.

G       D
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver 
G
Space ships 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 ones. 
         Bm         C
All in a dream, all in a dream 
    G             C
The loading had begun. 
 D
Flying Mother Nature's 
A                C               G
Silver seed to a new home in the sun. 
D
Flying Mother Nature's 
A                C
