Tuning:

Many years ago I saw Verse 2 in the 'Folk Process' column of Sing Out magazine. I, regrettably, don't know who wrote it. It was likely in the late seventies, early eighties. I have no earthly notion what key this was originally recorded in. It is a fairly straight forward process to transpose to suit your voice. LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM By Ed McCurdy CHORUS:

^CLast night I had the strangest dream I’d ^Fnever dreamed be^Cfore, ^GI dreamed the world had ^Call a^Amgreed to ^Dmput an ^G7end to ^Cwar. I ^Fdreamed I saw a ^Cmighty room, ^Gfull of ^G7women and ^Cmen ^C7 And the ^Fpaper they were ^Csigning said we’d ^Gnever ^G7fight a^Cgain.

VERSE 1:

^CAnd when the paper was all signed and a ^Fmillion copies ^Cmade, ^GThey all joined hands and ^Cbowed their ^Amheads and ^Dmgrateful ^G7prayers were ^Cprayed And the ^Fpeople in the ^Cstreets below ^Gbegan to ^G7dance ar^Cound ^C7 While ^Fswords and guns and ^Cuniforms were ^Gscattered ^G7on the ^Cground.

VERSE 2:

^CSo let’s join hands and make a vow that ^Fwe’ll have peace to^Cday ^GLet Hiroshima’s ^Cvoice ring ^Amout, Peace ^Dmnow with ^G7no de^Clay. A^Fnd then children ^Call around can ^Gsing and ^G7dance and ^Cplay ^C7 And ^Fgenerations ^Cyet to come will ^Gnever ^G7have to ^Csay:

^CLast night I had the strangest dream I’d ^Fnever dreamed b^Cefore, I ^Gdreamed the world had ^Call ag^Amreed to ^Dmput an ^G7end to ^Cwar.
