The Gunners Dream

D Daug Bm G D A Bm D Daug Floating down through the clouds Bm/D G Memories come rushing up to meet me now. D In the space between the heavens A G And in the corner of some foreign field, D Bm G I had a dream, D I had a dream. D Daug Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma. Bm/D G After the service when you're walking slowly to the car D A And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air, Bm Gmaj7 A/G G You hear the tolling bell, and touch the silk in your lapel, D A Bm And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band, G A You take her frail hand and hold on to the dream. D Daug Bm G A D A Bm A G A/G D A G D Bm G Bm D Daug A place to stay, enough to eat, Bm G Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street. D A Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears, Bm And what's more no-one ever disappears, Gmaj7 You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door. D A You can relax on both sides of the tracks, Bm G A7/G And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control, D A And everyone has recourse to the law, G D Bm And no-one kills the children anymore. G D No-one kills the children anymore. G A D A Bm A Night after night, going round and round my brain, G A D His dream is driving me insane. D In the corner of some foreign field, A The gunner sleeps tonight. Bm G A/G What's done is done. D A We cannot just write off his final scene. G D Bm Take heed of his dream, G Bm Take heed.
