I Dreamed There was a Fountain
John Mark McMillan
Capo 1
VERSE 1:
D D D/C#
I dreamed there was a fountain
Bm
I dreamed there was a vein
G
That overcame the mountain
D
Like a condescending rain
VERSE 2:
With love that's bigger than Los Angeles
With a speed that overcame the pain
Of a thousand left hand promises
Made by thieves with their good names
PRE CHORUS:
Bm
There came a song upon a west wind
D
That kissed the lips of spoon-fed babes
G
Though ignorant inside their blessings
A
But it broke their hearts, and they sang
CHORUS:
G D A
Come drink this water
G D A
Come drink this blood
G D A
Come and drink this love
Bm
that you could not afford
VERSE 3:
I stood and looked across the waters
Of a great Atlantic sea
I saw my sons I saw my daughters
It's like they had no tears to weep
PRE CHORUS:
There came a song upon a west wind
That kissed the lips of spoon-fed babes
Though ignorant inside their blessings
But it broke their hearts, and they sang
CHORUS:
G D A
Come drink this water
G D A
Come drink this blood
G D A
Come and drink this love that you could not afford
G D A
Come drink this water
G D A
Come drink this blood
G D A
Come and drink this love
Bm
that you could not afford
