Last night I had the strangest dream I'd ever dreamed before.

E                     A               E             A-A7

I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war.

 

  D               A                E                A-A7

I dreamed I saw a mighty room, the room was full of men.

D               A                           E            A

And the paper they were signing said they'd never fight again.

 

And when the paper was all signed and a million copies made,

They all joined hands and bowed their heads,

And a grateful prayer was prayed.

 

And the people in the streets below were dancing 'round and 'round,

While swords and guns and uniforms were scattered on the ground.

 

Last night I had the strangest dream I'd ever dreamed before.

I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war.

 

I dreamed I saw a mighty room, the room was full of men.

And the paper they were signing said they'd never fight again.

 

When I awoke, 'twas but a dream and peace a dirty word.

I tried to tell them of my dream, but not a word they heard.

 

And then I got me fighting mad, and I knew just what I'd do.

I'd fight non-violently for peace, until my dream came true.
