The Day John Kennedy Died

Written by Lou Reed

	  		
Verse 

C                                  F    G          C 
I dreamed I was the president of these United States 
C                                  F    G        C 
I dreamed I replaced ignorance, stupidity and hate 
C                                  F    G         C 
I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect law, undenied 
C                                      F    G             C 
And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died 


Verse 

C                                       F    G          C 
I dreamed that I could do the job that others hadn't done 
C                                  F    G         C      
I dreamed that I was uncorrupt and fair to everyone 
C                                  F    G            C 
I dreamed I wasn't gross or base, a criminal on the take 
C                                  F    G          
And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died

Verse C F G I remember where I was that day, I was upstate in a bar C F G The team from the university was playing football on tv C Then the screen went dead and the announcer said, F G C "There's been a tragedy..." C "The President's been shot... C "There are now unconfirmed reports... F G C "That he may be dead or dying." Verse C Talking stopped, someone shouted, "What!?" F G I ran out to the street C People were gathered everywhere saying, F G C "Did you hear what they said on TV?" C And then a guy in a Porsche with his radio on F G C Hit his horn and told us the news C He said, "The president's dead... C Shot twice in the head... F G C In Dallas and they don't know by whom." Verse C F G I dreamed I was the president of these United States C F G I dreamed I was young and smart and it was not a waste C F G I dreamed that there was a point to life and to the human race C I dreamed that I could somehow comprehend that someone F G C Shot him in the face
