MIm-D-G-D-Em-D-C-D
MIm RE SOL
I had this dream where I relished the fray
RE MIm RE DO RE
and the screaming filled my head all day.
MIm RE SOL
It was as though I'd been spit here, settled in,
RE MIm RE DO
into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket,
RE MIm RE
off the coast of France, dear.
SOL RE MIm RE
One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here
DO RE MIm RE SOL
and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might
RE MIm RE DO RE
in your blood.
MIm RE SOL
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only,
RE MIm RE
anything that systematic would get you hated.
DO RE MIm RE SOL RE
It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated-(uh).
MIm RE SOL
The selection was quick, the crew was picked (in order)
RE MIm RE DO RE
and those left in the water got kicked off our pantleg
MIm SOL DO RE
and we headed for home.
MIm SOL DO RE
MIm RE SOL
Then the dream ends when the phone rings, you doing alright
RE MIm
he said it's out there most days and nights,
RE DO RE
but only a fool would complain.
MIm RE SOL RE
Anyway Susan, if you like, our conversation
MIm RE DO RE
is as faint as a sound in my memory,
MIm RE SOL RE MIm RE DO RE
as those fingernails scratching on my hull.
Em G C D (repeat)
