Introduction:
Em A A4A
Breathe, breathe in the air
Em A A4A
Don’t be afraid to care
Em A A4A
Leave but don’t leave me
Em A A4A
Look around and choose your own ground
C
For long you live and high you fly
Bm
And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
F
And all you touch and all you see
G
Is all your life will ever be
Em A A4A
Run, run rabbit run
Em A A4A
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
Em A A4A
And when at last the work is done
Em A A4A
Don’t sit down it’s time to dig another one
C
For long you live and high you fly
Bm
But only if you ride the tide
F
And balanced on the biggest wave
G Em
You race toward an early grave
TIME/BREATHE REPRISE
F#m A
ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
E F#m
you fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
F#m A
kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
E F#m
waiting for someone or something to show you the way
D7M
tired of lying in the sunshine
A7M
staying home to watch the rain
D7M
you are young and life is long
A7M
and there is time to kill today
D7M
and then one day you find
C#m
ten years have got behind you
Bm
no one told you when to run
E
you missed the starting gun
F#m A
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
E F#m
Racing around to come up behind you again.
A A7 A7(4) A7
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
E F#m
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
D7M A7M
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
D7M A7M
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
D7M C#m
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
Bm
The time is gone, the song is over,
Bm7 F/B
Thought I'd something more to say
Em7 A
Home, home again
Em7 A
I like to be here when I can
Em7 A
When I come in cold and tired
Em7 A
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
C
Far away across the field
Bm7
The tolling of the iron bell
F7M
Calls the faithful to their knees
G F Eb Bm7
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9
MONEY
Bm7
Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
F#m7
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Em Bm7
Think I'll buy me a football team.
Bm7
Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
F#m7 Em
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
Bm7
And I think I need a Lear jet.
Bm7
Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
F#m7 Em
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
Bm
giving none away.
US AND THEM
E2/D
Us, and them
G/D D A/D
And after all we're only ordinary men.
D2 E2/D
Me, and you.
G/D D A/C#
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do.
Bm
Forward he cried from the rear
Bm/A D/G C
and the front rank died.
Bm A
The general sat and the lines on the map
D/G C
moved from side to side.
D2 E2/D
Black and blue
G/D D2
And who knows which is which and who is who.

Up and down.
G/D D A/D A/C#
And in the end it's only round and round and round.
Bm
"Haven't you heard? It's a battle of words"
Bm/A D/G C
the poster bearer cried.
Bm
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
Bm/A D/G C
"There's room for you inside."
D2 E2/D
Down and out
G/D D
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
D2 E2/D
With, without.
G/D D
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Bm
Out of the way, it's a busy day
Bm/A D/G C
I've got things on my mind.
Bm
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
Bm/A D/G C
The old man died.
