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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Instrumental]
D Daug Bm G A D A Bm A G A/G D A G D Bm G Bm
[Verse 2]
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.
[Outro]
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.
