T[G]What did you dream my[D7] love my [G]love, that woke you [D7]from your[G] sleep
I [C]dreamt I saw the [G]soldi[Em]ers, a[G]gain march [D]up our[G] street
I saw them[G7] in their [C]uni[G]forms and their boots of shinny [D7]leath[D]er
And I [G]knew when [C]they came to[G] my front [Em]door the [G]day would [D7]go no [G]farther
Chorus
And the[G] wind blows[G7] cold from the [C]Zider [G]Zee and Amsterdam is[D7] wee[D]ping
But [G]Vincent's [C]tears can't[G] wash a[Em]way the [G]shame that[D] we are [G]feeling
And what did you dream my love my love that keeps you now from sleeping
I heard the soldiers on the stairs, in foreign tongues they're speaking
And they took me to the railway yard where the carriages were waiting
For on their sleeve was a crooked cross, on my heart was the star of David
Chorus
What did you dream my love my love, there are tears upon your pillow
I saw the chimney's in the east and the black smoke from them billows
And it slowly swept across the land til it covered ever nation
But no one heard my lonesome cry or came to my salvation
Chorus
So sleep my love it's over now, it's time that you were leaving
The morning stars are fading fast, there's no more time for dreamin'
For the sun will warm the earth again and dry up all the sorrow
The flowers that faded yesterday will bloom again tomorrow
I [C]dreamt I saw the [G]soldi[Em]ers, a[G]gain march [D]up our[G] street
I saw them[G7] in their [C]uni[G]forms and their boots of shinny [D7]leath[D]er
And I [G]knew when [C]they came to[G] my front [Em]door the [G]day would [D7]go no [G]farther
Chorus
And the[G] wind blows[G7] cold from the [C]Zider [G]Zee and Amsterdam is[D7] wee[D]ping
But [G]Vincent's [C]tears can't[G] wash a[Em]way the [G]shame that[D] we are [G]feeling
And what did you dream my love my love that keeps you now from sleeping
I heard the soldiers on the stairs, in foreign tongues they're speaking
And they took me to the railway yard where the carriages were waiting
For on their sleeve was a crooked cross, on my heart was the star of David
Chorus
What did you dream my love my love, there are tears upon your pillow
I saw the chimney's in the east and the black smoke from them billows
And it slowly swept across the land til it covered ever nation
But no one heard my lonesome cry or came to my salvation
Chorus
So sleep my love it's over now, it's time that you were leaving
The morning stars are fading fast, there's no more time for dreamin'
For the sun will warm the earth again and dry up all the sorrow
The flowers that faded yesterday will bloom again tomorrow
