The Gunner's Dream

[G]  [G]   [Em]  [C]  [G]  [D]  [Em]

[G]Floating down [G]through the clouds

[Em/G]Memories come rushing [C]up to meet me now.

In the [G]space between the heavens

And in the [D]corner of some foreign field, [C]

I had a [G]dream, [Em]     [C]

I had a [G]dream.

[G]Goodbye Max, [G]goodbye Ma.

[Em/G]After the service when you're [C]walking slowly to the car

And the [G]silver in her hair shines in the [D]cold November air,

You [Em]hear the tolling bell, and [Cmaj7]touch the silk in your [D/C]lapel,  [C]

And [G]as the tear drops rise to meet the [D]comfort of the band,   [Em]

[C]You take her frail [D]hand and hold on to the dream.

[G]  [G]   [Em]  [C]  [D]  [G]  [D]  [Em]  [D]  [C]  [D] [C]  [G]  [D]  [C]  [G]  [Em]  [C]  [Em]

[G]A place to stay, [G]enough to eat,

[Em]Somewhere old heroes shuffle [C]safely down the street.

Where you can [G]speak out loud about your doubts and [D]fears,

And what's more [Em]no-one ever disappears,

You never hear their standard issue [Cmaj7]kicking in your door.

[G]You can relax on [D]both sides of the tracks,

And maniacs [Em]don't blow holes in [C]bandsmen by remote cont[D7/C]rol,

And [G]everyone has recourse to the [D]law,

And [C]no-one kills the children any[G]more. [Em]

[C]No-one kills the children anymore.  [G]

[C]Night after ni[D]ght, going [G]round and [D]round my [Em]brain,  [D]

His [C]dream is [D]driving me in[G]sane___________________.

In the [G]corner of some foreign field,

The [D]gunner sleeps tonight.

[Em]What's done is done.   [C]        [D/C]

We [G]cannot just write off his final [D]scene.

[C]Take heed of his [G]dream,  [Em]

[C]Take heed.  [Em]
