After the Gold Rush

Neil Young


A                                   D
Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
       A                 D
Sayin' something about a queen
           A                    E7
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
        F#m              G
And the archer split the tree
            F#m                    G
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
          F#m             G
There was floating on the breeze
A                     E7                G              D
Look at Mother Nature on the run in the Twentieth Century
A                     E7                G              D
Look at Mother Nature on the run in the Twentieth Century

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for a replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie

I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the Sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home in the Sun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home...
