This is my first attempt at tabbing a song, so please 
excuse any mistakes
that I may have made. Gilmour does a wonderful job with
 this song - quite
a lot of keyboard fillers and synthesization is used to
 create the musical
effect, but I've provided the chord changes, so it 
should be pretty easy
to piece together and play on either piano or guitar.

Note: I put the chords above the word to play on. 
However, since the song
is slow tempo, you'll have to hear the song to know 
where to play the chord
inside of the lyric.

Verse

E|E|E|E|-----|||| 

Bb         F
Out of the blue,
       Bb         F
On the wings of a dove,
  Bb        F
A messenger comes,
                    C
with the beating of drums,
                      Bb
it's not a message of love

    Bb           F
Our children are born,
    Bb           F
and we keep them warm,
     Bb            F
they must have the right
               C
to live in the light,
                    Bb
to be safe from the storm.

    Bb         F
And out of the blue,
     Bb           F
with wings on his heels,
  Bb        F
a messenger comes,
        C
bearing regrets
                     Bb
for the time that he steals.

    Bb          F
But steal it he will,
   Bb             F
my children's and mine,
Bb          F
against our desires,
                C
against all our needs,
                       Bb
our blood spilled like wine.

Chorus

E|E|E|E|-----||||- 

Dm

Dm       C       Bb
Over and over we call,
       Dm
No one hears... and further
    C           Bb         F
and further and further we fall...

          Dm           C              Bb
Though we brave it, we soon will have wait
      Dm                          C
It is clear that it's no dream at all,
    Bb           F
our lives are at stake.

Bb C

Verse

E|E|E|E|-----|||| 

  Bb     F
I cannot believe...
    Bb   F
nor even pretend...
         Bb        F
that the thunder I hear,
          C
will just disappear,
                       Bb
and the nightmare will end.

   Bb            F
So hold back the fire,
        Bb           F
because this much is true,
     Bb             F
when all's said and done,
                 C
then ending will come,
                Bb
from out of the blue.

F Bb F C
