All Some Kind Of Dream by Josh Ritter
All Some Kind Of Dream
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
C Am
I saw my brother in a stranger's face
F G
I saw my sister in a smile
C Am
My mother's laughter in a far off place
F G
My father's footsteps in each mile
Am Em
I thought I knew who my neighbor was
F G
We didn't need to be redeemed
C Am
Oh, what could I have been thinking of?
F G C
Was it all some kind of dream?
[Verse]
C Am
I saw my country in the hungry eyes
F G
Of a million refugees
C Am
Between the rocks and the rising tide
F G
As they were tossed across the sea
Am Em
There was a time when we were them
F G
Just as now they all are we
C Am
Was there an hour when we took them in?
F G C
Or was it all some kind of dream?
[Verse]
C Am
I saw the children in the holding pens
F G
I saw the families ripped apart
C Am
And though I try, I cannot begin
F G
To know what it did inside their hearts
Am Em
There was a time when we held them close
F G
And weren't so cruel, low, and mean
C Am
And we did good unto the least of those
F G C
Or was it all some kind of dream?
[Bridge]
C Am Em F G C Am
F G C
[Verse]
C Am
I saw justice with a tattered hem
F G
I saw compassion on the run
C Am
But I saw dignity in spite of them
F G
I prayed its day would finally come
Am Em
There was a time when we chose our sides
F G
And we refused to live between
C Am
We rose to fight for what we knew was right
F G C
Or was it all some kind of dream?
[Verse]
C Am
Last night I lay in my true love's bed
F G
And she lay there close beside
C Am
And we lay thinking 'bout what lay ahead
F G
And wondering if the sun would rise
Am Em
For it seems that these are darker days
F G
Than any others that we've seen
C Am
Oh, how we wished that we weren't wide awake
F G C
And this was all some kind of dream
C Am
Oh, how we wished that we weren't wide awake
F G C
And this was all some kind of dream
