AFTER THE GOLD RUSH

Neil Young


Well I [D] dreamed I saw the nights in [G] armor coming,
Sayin' [D] something about a [G] queen.
There were [D] peasants singin' and [A] drummers drummin'
And the [G] archer split the [A] tree.
There was a [Bm] fanfare blowin' [C] to the sun,
That was [G] floating on the [C] breeze.
[D] Look at mother nature [A] on the run, in the [C] nineteen seven-[G]-ties.
[D] Look at mother nature [A] on the run, in the [C] nineteen seven-[G]-ties.

I was [D] lyin' in a burned out [G] basement,
With the [D] full moon in my [G] eyes.
I was [D] hopin' for a re-[A]-placement,
When the [G] sun burst through the [A] sky.
There was a [Bm] band playin' [C] in my head,
And I [G] felt like getting [C] high.
I was [D] thinkin' about what a [A] friend had said,
I was [C] hopin' it was a [G] lie.
I was [D] thinkin' about what a [A] friend had said,
I was [C] hopin' it was a [G] lie.

Well I [D] dreamed I saw the silver [G] spaceships flyin,
In the [D] yellow haze of the [G] sun.
There were [D] children cryin' and [A] colors flyin'
All a-[G]-round the chosen [A] one.
All in a [Bm] dream, all [C] in a dream, the [G] loading had be-[C]-gun.
[D] Flyin' mother nature's [A] silver seed to a [C] new home in the [G] sun.
[D] Flyin' mother nature's [A] silver seed to a [C] new home . . . [G] . . .
