Capo:no capo

[Intro]
A  F#m  C#m  D  A
 
[Verse]
A
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
 D              A
Alive as you or me,
 
Tearing through these quarters
       B         D
In the utmost misery,
       A
With a blanket underneath his arm
      D
And a coat of solid gold,
A                 F#m   C#m
Searching for the very souls
 D                      A
Whom already have been sold.
 
[Verse]
  A
"Arise, arise," he cried so loud,
        D              A
With a voice without restraint,
 
"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
     Bm7     B7       D
And hear my sad complaint.
    A
No martyr is among ye now
       D
Whom you can call your own,
        A      C#m   F#m    C#m
But go on your way accordingly
     D                A
And know you're not alone."
 
[Instrumental]
D  A  B7  D  A  D  A  F#m  D  A
 
[Verse]
   A
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
 D                A
Alive with fiery breath,
 
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
 B                   D
Who put him out to death.
    A
Oh, I awoke in anger,
     D
So alone and terrified,
  A       C#m     F#m         C#m
I put my fingers against the glass
     D                 A
And bowed my head and cried.
 
[Outro]
A  F#m  D  E  A
