“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


G I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
C                GAlive as you or me,
GTearing through these quarters
        A        CIn the utmost misery,
GWith a blanket underneath his arm
C                      GAnd a coat of solid gold,
G                 ASearching for the very souls
C                         GWhom already have been sold.  


 G"Arise, arise," he cried so loud, 
C                          G  In a voice without restraint,
 G"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
          A     CAnd hear my sad complaint.
GNo martyr is among ye now
C                        GWhom you can call your own,
G                 ASo go on your way accordingly
C                       GBut know you're not alone."

GI dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
C                     GAlive with fiery breath,
GAnd I dreamed I was amongst the ones
      A           CThat put him out to death.
GOh, I awoke in anger,
C                    GSo alone and terrified,
G                 AI put my fingers against the glass
C                         GAnd bowed my head and cried.
