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.
