I had a dream as daylight touched the sky
C# G# F# C# G# G#6 G#7
As breezes chased along the winter lane

I had a dream as dreams alone I dreamt

Has every man his chain

Has every man his chain?

A# negro hid beneath a face of blood
C# G# F# C# G# G#6 G#7
And is there really anyone to blame?

I marveled at the beauty of children's minds
[Chorus 2]
C# G# F#
Has every man his chain
C# G# C# F# G# C#
Has every man his chain?

[Verse 3]
I saw a beach of sand beside the sea
C# G# F# C# G# G#6 G#7
And there before me I saw every grain
C# C#7 F# F#m
And I wondered, well, it was best this way
[Chorus 3]
C# G# C# F# G# C#
Every man has his chain
C# G# C# F# G# C#
Every man has his chain
