[Chorus]
  Bb                               Cm
I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond
    Eb             F                 Bb
And I was born after they drop the bomb
Bb                               Cm
I dreamed that I was sittin' on my father's knee
    Eb                 F                 Bb
And he told me of the world that used to be

[Verse 1]
Bb
Tell me again
    Eb         Bb
How it used to be used to be
    Bb
Did grass really grow
    Eb         Bb
And what was a tree
    Bb                        Cm
Did rain really fall from the sky
       Eb            F          Bb
What a shame that it all had to die

[Verse 2]
Bb
Tell me about
    Eb     Bb
The au/tomovile
Bb
How did it run
    Eb         Bb
And what was a wheel
    Bb                     Cm
Did children stand up all a/lone
  Eb             F         Bb
I think that you puttin me on

[Chorus]
  Bb                               Cm
I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond
     Eb            F                 Bb
And I was born after they drop the bomb
  Bb                               Cm
I dreamed that I was sittin' on my father's knee
    Eb                 F                 Bb
And he told me of the world that used to be

[Verse 3]
Bb
Tell me again
    Eb         Bb
how it used to be
    Bb
Did birds really fly
Eb       Bb
What was TV
    Bb                  Cm
Did concrete cover the land?
    Eb         F             Bb
And what was a rock and roll band

[Verse 4]
Bb
Tell me again
     Eb           Bb
what kids used to do
Bb
What was a dog
    Eb         Bb
and what was a shoe
    Bb                             Cm
Did children looked different from me
     Eb             F            Bb
That must have been something to see

[Chorus]
  Bb                               Cm
I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond
     Eb            F                 Bb
And I was born after they drop the bomb
  Bb                               Cm
I dreamed that I was sittin' on my father's knee
    Eb                 F                 Bb
And he told me of the world that used to be

[Verse 5]
Bb
Tell me again
      Eb            Bb
about sunshine and rain
Bb
What was a boat
    Eb         Bb
and what was a train
     Bb                  Cm
Were people as Lonely as me?

[Outro]
        Eb           F             B
And did they live in caves such as we
