Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Breathe, breathe in the air.
 Don't be afraid  to care.
 Leave but don't leave me.
Look  around and choose your own ground.
 For long  you live and high you fly
 And smiles  you'll give and tears you'll cry
All  you touch and all you see
 Is all  your life will ever be.
 Run, rabbit run.
Dig  that hole, forget the sun,
 When at last the work is done
Don't  sit down it's time to dig another  one.
 For long  you live and high you fly
 But only  if you ride the tide
 And balanced  on the biggest wave
  G D79 D7b9 Em [Segue to "On the Run]
 You race towards an early grave.
 Time
 Words and Music by Roger Waters, Nicholas Mason, David Gilmour and Rick Wright
Ticking  away the moments that make up a dull  day
Fritter  and waste the hours in an offhand way.
 Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home  town
Waiting  for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired  of lying in the sunshine staying  home to watch the rain.
You  are young and life is long and there  is time to kill today.
And  then one day you find ten  years have got behind you.
No  one told you when to run, you  missed the starting gun.
 And you run  and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing  around to come up behind you again.
 The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter  of breath and one day closer to death.
Every  year is getting shorter never  seem to find the time.
Plans  that either come to naught or half  a page of scribbled lines
Hanging  on in quiet desparation  is the English way
 The time  is gone, the song is over,
Thought  I'd something more  to say.
 Breathe (Reprise)
 Words by Roger Waters
 Music by Roger Waters, David Gilmour & Rick Wright
 Home,  home again.
 I like to be here when I can.
 When I come home cold and tired
 It's good  to warm my bones beside  the fire.
Far  away across the field
The  tolling of the iron bell
Calls  the faithful to their knees
 To hear  the softly spoken  magic  spell.
 The Great Gig In The Sky
 Music by Rick Wright
 Money
 Words and Music by Roger Waters
Money,  get away.
 Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
 Money, it's a gas.
 Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New  car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think  I'll buy me a football  team.
Money,  get back.
 I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
 Money, it's a hit.
 Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
 I'm in the high-fidelity  first class travelling set
 And I think I need a Lear  jet.
Money,  it's a crime.
 Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
 Money, so they say
 Is the root of all evil today.
But  if you ask for a raise it's no surprise  that they're
 giving none away.
 Us And Them
 Words by Roger Waters
 Music by Roger Waters & Rick Wright
Us,  and them
 And after all we're only ordinary  men.
Me,  and you.
 God only knows it's not what we  would choose to do.
Forward  he cried from the rear
 and the front rank  died.
 The general  sat and the lines on the map
moved  from side to side.
Black  and blue
 And who knows which is which and who  is who.
 Up and down.
 And in the end it's only round  and round and round.
 "Haven't  you heard? It's a battle of words"
the  poster  bearer cried.
 "Listen  son", said the man with the gun
 "There's room  for you inside."
Down  and out
 It can't be helped but there's a lot  of it about.
With,  without.
 And who'll deny it's what the fighting's  all about?
Out  of the way, it's a busy day
I've got  things on my mind.
 For the want  of the price of tea and a slice
The  old  man died.
 Breathe (Second Reprise)
 Music by Roger Waters, David Gilmour & Rick Wright
 Brain Damage
 Words and Music by Roger Waters
 The lunatic is on the grass.
 The lunatic is on the grass.
 Remembering games and daisy  chains and laughs.
Got  to keep the loonies on the path.
 The lunatic is in the hall.
 The lunatics are in my hall.
 The paper holds their folded faces  to the floor
 And every  day the paper boy brings more.
 And if the dam breaks open many  years too soon
 And if  there is no room upon the hill
 And if your head explodes with dark  forebodings too
 I'll see  you on the dark side of the moon.
 The lunatic is in my head.  (laughter)
 The lunatic is in my head
 You raise the blade,  you make the change
 You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane.
 You lock the door
 And throw  away the key
 There's someone  in my head but it's not me.
 And if the cloud bursts, thunder  in your ear
 You shout and no one seems to hear.
 And if the band you're in starts playing  different  tunes
 I'll see  you on the dark side of the moon.
 Eclipse
 Words and Music by Roger Waters
All  that you touch,
All  that you see,
All  that you taste,
 All you feel.
All  that you love
All  that you hate
All  you distrust
 All you save.
All  that you give
All  that you deal
All  that you buy,
 beg, borrow  or steal.
All  you create
All  you destroy
All  that you do
All  that you say.
All  that you eat
everyone  you meet
All  that you slight
everyone  you fight.
All  that is now
All  that is gone
All  that's to come
 and everything  under the sun  is in tune
 but the sun  is eclipsed by the moon.
