^Ab Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were older
You were looking like Picasso
With a ^Fm scar across your shoulder
You were ^Db kneeling by the river
You were digging up the bodies
Buried l ^Ab ong ago ^Db
Michel ^Ab angelo
^Ab Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed you were a pilgrim
On a highway out alone to find
The ^Fm mother of your children
Who were s ^Db till unborn and waiting
In the wings of some desire
Abandoned ^Ab long ago ^Db
Michel ^Ab angelo
Were you t ^Fm here at Armageddon
Was ^Eb Paris really burning
Could I have ^Fm been the one to pull you
From the ^Db point of no returning
^Db And did I hear you calling out my name
Or was it forgotten ^Ab long ago ^Db
Michel ^Ab angelo ^Ab oh ^Db oh ^Ab oh ^Db oh ^Ab oh ^Db oh ^Eb oh
Last ^Ab night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were riding
On a blood red painted pony
Up where the ^Fm heavens were dividing
And the ^Db angels turned to ashes
You came tumbling with them to earth
So ^Ab Far below ^Db
Miche ^Ab langelo
^Ab Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were dying
In a field of thorn and roses
With a ^Fm hawk about you crying
For the ^Db warrior slain in battle
From an arrow driven deep inside you
^Ab Long ago ^Db Michela ^Ab ngelo
Did you ^Fm suffer at the end
Would there be ^Eb no one to remember
Did you ^Fm banish all the old ghosts
With the ^Db terms of surrender
And could you hear me calling out your name
Well I guess that I will ^Ab never know ^Db
Michel ^Ab angelo
^Ab Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were weeping
And your tears poured down like diamonds
For a ^Fm love beyond all keeping
And you ^Db caught them one by one
In a million silk bandanas that I gave you l ^Ab ong ago ^Db
Michel ^Ab angelo
