GWell, I remember seein' some Cad,

 So I Gcalled up the operCator of time

DJust to hear a voice of some kind. G C

"When you hear the beep

 It will be three o'clock," D

She said that for over an hour

And I hung up.

GWell, the doctor interrupted me Cjust about then,

 SayinD, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams,

GBut mine was a little different yCou see.

 I dreamt the onlyD person left after the war was me. G

I didn't see you around."

harmonica:

C D G

 Well, Gnow time passed and Cnow it seems

DEverybody's having them dreams.

GEverybody Csees themselves Dwalkin' around with no one else. G C

Half of the people can be part right all of the time,

DSome of the people can be all right part of the time.

But all of the people can't be all right all of the time.

 I think Abraham Lincoln said that. G C

"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,"

I said that.
