Chords with lyrics

This is a cover performed by Dirty Projectors for Levi's Pioneer Sessions


G+G
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
C majorC        G+G
Alive as you or me,
G+G
Tearing through these quarters
    A augmentedA    C majorC
In the utmost misery,
G+G
With a blanket underneath his arm
C majorC           G+G
And a coat of solid gold,
G+G         A augmentedA
Searching for the very souls
C majorC             G+G
Whom already have been sold.

 G+G
"Arise, arise," he cried so loud,
C majorC             G+G
In a voice without restraint,
 G+G
"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
     A augmentedA   C majorC
And hear my sad complaint.
G+G
No martyr is among ye now
C majorC            G+G
Whom you can call your own,
G+G         A augmentedA
So go on your way accordingly
C majorC            G+G
But know you're not alone."

G+G
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
C majorC           G+G
Alive with fiery breath,
G+G
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
   A augmentedA      C majorC
That put him out to death.
G+G
Oh, I awoke in anger,
C majorC          G+G
So alone and terrified,
G+G         A augmentedA
I put my fingers against the glass
C majorC             G+G
And bowed my head and cried.
