I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine


“I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine” by Bob Dylan performed by Dirty Projectors This is a cover performed by Dirty Projectors for Levi's Pioneer Sessions G I dreamed I saw St. Augustine, C G Alive as you or me, G Tearing through these quarters A C In the utmost misery, G With a blanket underneath his arm C G And a coat of solid gold, G A Searching for the very souls C G Whom already have been sold. G "Arise, arise," he cried so loud, C G In a voice without restraint, G "Come out, ye gifted kings and queens A C And hear my sad complaint. G No martyr is among ye now C G Whom you can call your own, G A So go on your way accordingly C G But know you're not alone." GCG GCG GAC GACG GC G I dreamed I saw St. Augustine, C G Alive with fiery breath, G And I dreamed I was amongst the ones A C That put him out to death. G Oh, I awoke in anger, C G So alone and terrified, G A I put my fingers against the glass C G And bowed my head and cried. The chords fade out to the end
