Floating down through the clouds
Em/G C
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
G
In the space between the heavens
D C
And in the corner of some foreign field,
G Em C
I had a dream,
G
I had a dream.
G G+
Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma.
Em/G C
After the service when you’re walking slowly to the car
G D
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air,
Em Cmaj7 D/C C
You hear the tolling bell, and touch the silk in your lapel,
G D Em
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band,
C D
You take her frail hand and hold on to the dream.
G G+ Em C D G D Em D C D/C G D C G Em C Em
G G+
A place to stay, enough to eat,
Em C
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street.
G D
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears,
Em
And what’s more no-one ever disappears,
Cmaj7
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
G D
You can relax on both sides of the tracks,
Em C D7/C
And maniacs don’t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control,
G D
And everyone has recourse to the law,
C G Em
And no-one kills the children anymore.
C G
No-one kills the children anymore.
C D G D Em D
Night after night, going round and round my brain,
C D G
His dream is driving me insane___________________.
G
In the corner of some foreign field,
D
The gunner sleeps tonight.
Em C D/C
What’s done is done.
G D
We cannot just write off his final scene.
C G Em
Take heed of his dream,
C Em
Take heed.
