              B7    Em    
Well I had an awful dream 
  C         G          D       G 
I laid your bones by a shallow stream 
                        B7     Em 
I carved your name in a willow tree 
    C        G       D       G 
And beat the ground

G 
                    B7    Em 
The water clear and sun a’bright 
  C        G     D        G 
I left the tears alone to dry 
                 B7        Em 
I raised my arms up to the sky 
C     G               D     G 
And I challenged God

G 
                      B7     Em 
You had no prose, you had no right 
   C       G        D      G 
To take my dove, my little light 
                 B7      Em 
Half of my soul, half of my sight 
C  G              D           G 
My beating heart, my precious wife 

Em          C       G             B7 
Have you no answer, follow you no more 
Em        C    D             G 
I'm on my own,    this means war

G 
                   B7     Em 
When I awoke, when I came to 
   C         G           D     G 
My whole perspective was brand new 
                   B7      Em 
I made a vow and I keep it true 
C         G            D        G    
Hold very close what's given to you 
B7        Em           C        G      D     G 
Keep very close what's given to you
