The Day John Kennedy Died Lou Reed
Verse]
[C]I dreamed I was the president of th[F]ese U[G]nited State[C]s
[C]I dreamed I replaced ignorance, stu[F]pidit[G]y and hat[C]e
[C]I dreamed the perfect union and a p[F]erfec[G]t law, und[C]enied
[C]And most of all I dreamed I forgot the [F]day J[G]ohn Kennedy di[C]ed
[Verse]
[C]I dreamed that I could do the job that o[F]thers[G] hadn't don[C]e
[C]I dreamed that I was uncorrupt and [F]fair [G]to everyon[C]e
[C]I dreamed I wasn't gross or base, a[F] crim[G]inal on the t[C]ake
[C]And most of all I dreamed I forgot [F]the d[G]ay John Kennedy died
[Cborus]
[F]Oh, the da[G]y John Kennedy d[C]ied
[F]Oh, the da[G]y John Kennedy d[C]ied
[Verse]
[C]I remember where I was that day, I [F]was u[G]pstate in a bar
[C]The team from the university was pl[F]aying[G] football on tv
[C]Then the screen went dead and the announcer said,
"There's b[F]een a[G] tragedy..[C]."
[C]"The President's been shot...
[C]"There are now unconfirmed reports...
"That he ma[F]y be [G]dead or dy[C]ing."
[Verse]
[C]Talking stopped, someone shouted, "What!?"
I ra[F]n ou[G]t to the street
[C]People were gathered everywhere saying,
"Did you he[F]ar what they [G]said on TV?[C]"
[C]And then a guy in a Porsche with his radio on
Hit his ho[F]rn and to[G]ld us the ne[C]ws
[C]He said, "The president's dead...
[C]Shot twice in the head...
In Dal[F]las and they [G]don't know by wh[C]om."
[Verse]
[C]I dreamed I was the president of th[F]ese U[G]nited States
[C]I dreamed I was young and smart and i[F]t was[G] not a waste
[C]I dreamed that there was a point to life and[F] to t[G]he human race
[C]I dreamed that I could somehow comprehend that someone
Sh[F]ot him[G] in the fa[C]ce
[Cborus]
[F]Oh, the da[G]y John Kennedy d[C]ied
[F]Oh, the da[G]y John Kennedy d[C]ied
