Introduction:
G G(#5)
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(#5)
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 C7M 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(#5)
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
C7M
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
