The Dream Song Joan Baez
I had a dream I was follo[Gm]wing a barefoot girl[D#] [D]
Beside a [Gm]stream that flowed [D#]around the wor[D]ld
And we [D#]spoke of many [F]things though her [A#]mouth never m[D#]oved
As the [Cm]most peculiar [F]scenes were [A#]disappearing into [D]view, oh what a [Gm]dream
Beyond the [D#]realm of [D]why
Pretty little b[Gm]eings beneath the [D#]yawning [D]sky
[D#]Speaking of [F]God as t[A#]hough they could d[D#]efine
[Cm]Music to the d[F]eaf and [A#]color to the [D]blind or God to [Gm]man
[D#--D]
[Cm]And then the leaves became a [G#]thousand [G#m]tears
[Cm]And I was on my knees in a crazy [G#]house of [G#m]mirrors
[Cm]I couldn't find my face but a voice was [G#]drawing [G#m]nearer
[Cm]Hush baby, [D]sweet baby, [Gm]hush [D#]don't you [D]cry
And I thought I [Gm]woke and my mother was [D#]standing [D]there
And my heart [Gm]broke as the ribbons [D#]in her [D]hair
[D#]Turned into [F]highways s[A#]urrounded and [D#]swirled
Like a [Cm]crown come down [F]around a [A#]not so perfect [D]world
In the corner of the [Gm]dream was the man with the [D#]blue [D]guitar
It had no [Gm]strings but the music [D#]touched the [D]stars
And his [D#]long dark [F]curls turned to g[A#]old before my [D#]eyes
And [Cm]the barefoot [F]girl smiled o[A#]ff to the [D]side and [Gm]it was real
[Cm]Then a thousand birds took flight with a [G#]joyful [G#m]noise
[Cm]And I heard the angels up on [G#]high [G#m]rejoice
[Cm]I could see my face and I recogn[G#]ized the [G#m]voice
[Cm]Hush baby, [D]sweet baby, [Gm]hush [D#]baby hush[D]
It's just a [Gm]dream, one of those that goes [D#]on and [D]on
Scene after [Gm]scene with the rhythm of a [D#]gypsy [D]song
[D#]When I really [F]woke I was [A#]frozen in [D#]between
I didn't [Cm]know who I [F]was, it was a [A#]dream inside a [D]dream
[Gm]It's all a dream
[D#]Oh what a dream
[Gm]I had a dream
