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