C
Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were older.
Am
You were looking like Picasso, With a scar across your shoulder.
F
You were kneeling by the river, You were digging up the bodies.
CFC
Buried long ago, Michelangelo.
[Verse 2]
C
Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed you were a pilgrim.
Am
On a highway out alone to find, The mother of your children.
F
Who were still unborn and waiting, In the wings of some desire.
CFC
Aandoned long ago, Michelangelo.
AmG
Were you there at Armageddon Was Paris really burning.
AmF
Could I have been the one to pull you, From the point of no returning.
FCF
And did I hear you calling out my name, Or was it forgotten long ago.
FCCFCFGC
Michelangelo ooh oh o ho oh o oh o oh.
[Verse 3]
C
Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were riding.
Am
On a blood red painted pony, Up where the heavens were dividing.
F
And the angels turned to ashes, You came tumbling with them to earth.
CFC
So Far below Michelangelo.
[Verse 4]
C
Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were dying.
Am
In a field of thorn and roses, With a hawk about you crying.
F
For the warrior slain in battle, From an arrow driven deep inside you.
CFC
Long ago Michelangelo.
AmG
Did you suffer at the end, Would there be no one to remember.
AmF
Did you banish all the old ghosts, With the terms of surrender.
FC
And could you hear me calling out your name, Well I guess that I will never know.
FCCFCFGC
Michelangelo ooh oh o ho oh o oh o oh.
[Verse 5]
C
Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were weeping.
Am
And your tears poured down like diamonds, For a love beyond all keeping.
FCF
And you caught them one by one, In a million silk bandanas that I gave you long ago.
C
Michelangelo.
