D
Had a dream
D                                 A
You and me and the war of the end times
D
And I believe
                             A
California succumbed to the fault line

We heaved relief
                       G
As scores of innocents died

G                  D
And the Andalusian tribes
G                             D
Setting the lay of Nebraska alight
                A                         G
'Til all the remains is the arms of the angels

(Later)

G                   D
And the Panamanian child
G                                D
Stands at the Dowager Empress's side
D              A                        G
And all that remains is the arms of the angels

D             A                         G
And all the remains is the arms of the angels

    D          G
Ah oo, Ah oo hoo
   D          G
Ah oo, Ah oo hoo


Em                      A
And you've receded into loam
Em                          A
And they're picking at your bones
     G            D
Will call cold
D          A
We'll come home

(End on D)
