Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - I Had A Dream, Joe: chords

Chorus:
Cm        F
I had a dream
          D
I had a dream
         Gm
I had a dream
Cm        F     A#
I had a dream, Joe

         Gm
I had a dream, Joe
                          D#                D
You were standing in the middle of an open road
         Gm
I had a dream, Joe
Gm
Your hands were raised up to the sky
          D#                   D
And your mouth was covered in foam
         Gm
I had a dream, Joe
                  D#                   D
A shadowy Jesus flitted from tree to tree
         Gm
I had a dream, Joe
                               D#                     D
And a society of whores stuck needles in an image of me
         Gm
I had a dream, Joe
                         D#               D
It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves
             Gm
And in that dream, Joe
                          D#
A pimp in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick
     D                     Cm
And pointed his finger at me

Chorus

I opened my eyes, Joe
The night had been a giant,
dribbling and pacing the boards
I opened my eyes, Joe
All your letters and cards
stacked up against the door
I opened my eyes, Joe
The morning light came slowly
tumbling through the crack
In the window, Joe
And I thought of you, man, and
I felt like I was lugging
A body on my back

Chorus

Where did you go, Joe?
On that endless, on that senseless,
on that demented drift
Where did you go, Joe?
It was into the woods,
it was into the trees, where you move and shift
Where did you go, Joe?
All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit
Where did you go, Joe?
With that strew of wreckage
Forever at the heel of your boot
