(Verse 1)
Well, I (D)dreamed I saw the knights in arm-(D)or coming
Saying (D)something about a king (G)
There were (D)peasants singing and (A)drummers drumming
And the (G)archer split the tree (A)
There was a fan-(Bm)-fare blowing (C)to the sun
That was (G)floating on the breeze (C) - - -
(D)Look at mother nature on (A) the run
In the (C)twenty-first century (G)
(D)Look at mother nature on (A) the run
In the (C)twenty-first century (G)
 
(Verse 2)
I was (D)lying in a burned out (G)basement
With the (D)full moon in my (G)eyes
I was (D)hoping for re-(A)placement
When the (G)sun burst through the (A)sky
There was a (Bm)band playing (C) in my head
And I (G)felt like I could cry (C)
I was (D)thinking about what a (A)friend had said
I was (C)hoping it was a (G)lie
(D)Thinking about what a (A)friend had said
I was (C)hoping it was a lie (G)

(Verse 3)
Well I (D)dreamed I saw the silver (G)spaceships flyin'
In the (D)yellow haze of the sun (G)
There were (D)children crying and (A)colors flying
All a-(G)round the chosen one (A)
All in a dream, (Bm) all (C)in a dream, the (G)loading had begun (C) - - -
(D)Flying mother nature's sil-(A)ver seed to a (C)new home in the sun (G)
