And hear mAy sad Ccomplaint.
GNo martyr is among ye now
CWhom you can call your owGn,
GSo go on your way Aaccordingly
CBut know you're not alonGe."

“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

I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,

C G

Alive as you or me,

Tearing through these quarters

A C

In the utmost misery,

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.

"Arise, arise," he cried so loud,

C G

In a voice without restraint,

"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens

A C

And hear my sad complaint.

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

I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,

C G

Alive with fiery breath,

And I dreamed I was amongst the ones

A C

That put him out to death.

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.
