harmonica: D, G, C, D, G G C Some time ago a crazy dream came to me, D I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three, G C I went to the doctor the very next day D To see what kinda words he could say. G C He said it was a bad dream. I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though, D Them old dreams 're only in your head. harmonica: G, C, D, G, C, D, G G C I said, "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain." D He said, "Nurse, get your pad, the boy's insane," G C He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!" D As I landed on the psychiatric couch, G He said, "Tell me about it." harmonica: C, D, G G C Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast, D It was all over by quarter past. G C I was down in the sewer with some little lover D G When I peeked out from a manhole cover C Wondering who turned the lights on us. harmonica: D, G, C, D, G G C Well, I got up and I walked around D Up and down the lonesome town. G C I stood a-wondering which way to go, D I lit a cigarette on a parking meter G And walked on down the road. C It was a normal day. harmonica: D, G, C, D, G G C Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell D And I leaned my head and I gave a yell, G C "Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man." D G A shotgun fired and away I ran. C I don't blame 'im too much though, He didn't know me. harmonica: D, G, C, D, G G C Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand D G I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend, C I guess there's just us two." D G He screamed a bit and away he flew. C Thought I was a Communist. harmonica: D, G, C, D, G, C, D, G G C Well, I spied me a girl and before she could leave, D I said "Let's go and play Adam and Eve." G C I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin' D G She said, "Hey man, you crazy or somethin', C You seen what happened last time they started." harmonica: D, G, C, D, G, C, D, G, C, D, G G C Well, I seen your Cadillac window uptown D And there was nobody aroun', G C I got into the driver's seat D G And I drove down 42nd Street C In my Cadillac. D Good car to drive after a war. harmonica: G, C, D, G, C, D, G G C Well, I remember seein' some ad, D So I turned on my Conelrad. G C But I didn't pay the Con Ed bill, D G So the radio didn't work so well. C Turned on my record player D It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin', "Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa, Our Loves A-Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah." harmonica: G, C, D, G, C, D, G, C, D, G G C I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue, D I needed somebody to talk to. G C So I called up the operator of time D G C Just to hear a voice of some kind. "When you hear the beep D It will be three o'clock," She said that for over an hour And I hung up. harmonica: G, C, D, G, C, D, G G C Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then, D Sayin, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams, G C But mine was a little different you see. D G I dreamt the only person left after the war was me. I didn't see you around." harmonica: C, D, G G C Well, now time passed and now it seems D Everybody's having them dreams. G C D G C Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else. Half of the people can be part right all of the time, D Some of the people can be all right part of the time. But all of the people can't be all right all of the time. G C I think Abraham Lincoln said that. "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours," I said that. harmonica: D, G, C, D, G, C, D, G end on A G
