Michelangelo

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.
