I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine chords by Dirty Projectors

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


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

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

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