AFTER THE GOLDRUSH  
NEIL YOUNG

G                             C
Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming
G                  C
Sayin' something about a queen
G                          D
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
Cmaj7                   D
And the archer split the tree
Em                     F
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
C                   F
That was floating on the breeze
G                      D                        F    C
Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 1970's


I was lying in a burnt-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 getting high
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie

Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children cryin' and colours flyin'
All around the chosen one
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
