      E                         E7
Last night I had the strangest dream
  A      B7       E
I ever dreamed before
    B                   E     C#m
I dreamed the world had all agreed
    A     B7      E
To put an end to war.
    A              E
I dreamed I saw a mighty room,
     A        B7          E
The room was filled with men.
         A               E       G#m
And the paper they were signing said
        A     B7    E
They'd never fight again.

And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
