[Verse 1]
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.
C F C
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.
C F C
Aandoned long ago, Michelangelo.
Am G
Were you there at Armageddon Was Paris really burning.
Am F
Could I have been the one to pull you, From the point of no returning.
F C F
And did I hear you calling out my name, Or was it forgotten long ago.
F C C F C F G C
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.
C F C
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.
C F C
Long ago Michelangelo.
Am G
Did you suffer at the end, Would there be no one to remember.
Am F
Did you banish all the old ghosts, With the terms of surrender.
F C
And could you hear me calling out your name, Well I guess that I will never know.
F C C F C F G C
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.
F C F
And you caught them one by one, In a million silk bandanas that I gave you long ago.
C
Michelangelo.
