AFTER THE GOLDRUSH Neil Young                                 # 005 – 4

 

            D                                              G

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights In armor coming,

            D                              G                             D

Saying something about a queen. There were peasants singing and

 A                                               G                     A

Drummers drumming And the archer split the tree.

                      Bm                   C

There was a fanfare blowing To the sun

                 G                      C

That was floating on the breeze.

 

Chorus

 

D                                    A                          C                     G

Look at Mother Nature on the run  In the nineteen seventies.

D                                    A                          C                     G

Look at Mother Nature on the run  In the nineteen seventies.

 

          D                                G               D                                    G 

I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes.

          D                   A                                 G                          A

I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky.

                      Bm                C                          G                      C

There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.

          D                                  A                                  C                       G

I was thinking about what a Friend had said  I was hoping it was a lie.

D                                   A                                  C                        G

Thinking about what a Friend had said  I was hoping it was a lie.

 

Chorus

 

             D                                       G

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver Space ships flying 

D                                       G

In the yellow haze of the sun,

                     D                              A                       G                              A

There were children crying And colors flying All around the chosen ones.

             Bm          C                G                            C

All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun.

                   D                                   A                        C               G

They were flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home in the sun.

           D                         A                        C                         G

Flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
