An Old English Dream

C                  F
They say this fair city
G                Am
Has ten thousand souls
F            C
Some live in mansions
                 G
And some live in holes
C             F/A
Some eat from silver
G                 Am
And some eat from gold
F                 C
Some sift through garbage
                 G
And sleep in the cold
                 C     F    C
Sleep out in the cold

[Chorus 1]
              Am                            D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
G            C                        D      G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
      G#dim     Am                        D      G
And a babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
       G#dim       Am          G          F       C     F  G  F
And an old English church yard and an old English dream

[Verse 2]
C             F
Once we had a country
G                 Am
And thought it so fair
F                       C
If you look through the mirror
                      G
You can still find it there
C                 F/A
But now our great country
G             Am
Is broken and torn
F              C
And all of its promise
              G
And liberties worn
                     C    F    C
All of its liberties worn

[Chorus 2]
              Am                            D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
G            C                        D      G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
      G#dim     Am                        D      G
And a babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
       G#dim       Am          G          F       C
And an old English church yard and an old English dream

[Verse 3]
C                      F
I saw a great plain in winter
G              Am
All covered in snow
F            C
Ten thousand soldiers
               G
Marched to and fro
C                   F/A
I saw a broken down building
G                 Am
With ten thousand doors
F            C
None of them open
             G
None of them yours
                  C     F  C  G  C  F  C
Not a one of them yours

[Chorus 3]
              Am                            D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
G            C                        D      G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
      G#dim     Am                        D      G
And a babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
       G#dim       Am          G          F       C     F   G
And an old English church yard and an old English dream
           F       C     F   G
And an old English dream
           F       C
And an old English dream
