Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream chords by The Weavers

Chords with lyrics

Many years ago I saw Verse 2 in the 'Folk Process' column of Sing Out magazine. I, regrettably,
don't know who wrote it. It was likely in the late seventies, early eighties.
I have no earthly notion what key this was originally recorded in.
It is a fairly straight forward process to transpose to suit your voice.


LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM
By Ed McCurdy


CHORUS:
C majorC                    FF        C majorC
Last night I had the strangest dream I?d never dreamed before,
G+G            C majorC  A minorAm    DmDm   G7G7   C majorC
I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war.
 FF        C majorC      G+G    G7G7    C majorC      C7C7
I dreamed I saw a mighty room, full of women and men
     FF        C majorC         G+G   G7G7   C majorC
And the paper they were signing said we?d never fight again.

VERSE 1:
C majorC                    FF       C majorC
And when the paper was all signed and a million copies made,
G+G             C majorC      A minorAm    DmDm    G7G7      C majorC
They all joined hands and bowed their heads and grateful prayers were prayed
    FF       C majorC       G+G    G7G7   C majorC      C7C7
And the people in the streets below began to dance around
   FF          C majorC       G+G     G7G7   C majorC
While swords and guns and uniforms were scattered on the ground.

VERSE 2:
C majorC                    FF         C majorC
So let?s join hands and make a vow that we?ll have peace today
G+G        C majorC     A minorAm     DmDm    G7G7  C majorC
Let Hiroshima?s voice ring out, Peace now with no delay.
 FF        C majorC       G+G    G7G7    C majorC      C7C7
And then children all around can sing and dance and play
  FF      C majorC        G+G   G7G7   C majorC
And generations yet to come will never have to say:

C majorC                    FF       C majorC
Last night I had the strangest dream I?d never dreamed before,
 G+G           C majorC   A minorAm   DmDm   G7G7   C majorC
I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war.
