Days Gone By

C
Lying on the motorway this morning,
  C
I thought I heard a distant thunder 
rolling,
   Am       G            C    F
So I lay so still on the motorway,
          C
‘Till the cavalcade came screaming 
past like hellhounds in my ears,
       Am        G           C   
It was over in a moment, the wind
        F
 like a tornado,
    Am               G             
The sweet perfume of petrol like a 
C              F
lovers parting kiss,
       Am        G         
Then I closed my eyes on the 
  C    F
motorway,
       C
And I dreamed about the days gone 
by, brave boys,

I dreamed about the days gone by.

 C
Lying on the motorway this evening,
    C
The gypsies came up close while I 
was sleeping,
   Am      G        C    F
So quietly down the motorway,
C
Pulling their possessions in the 
cover of the night,
     Am               G           
They too had seen the whirlwind, 
   C                F
the shining black procession,
Am                  G             
Screaming past like gods ascending
 C                F
 through a tarmac sky,
   Am            G          
So they hid themselves by the 
  C    F
motorway,
    C
And dreamed about the days gone by, 
brave boys,
     C
They dreamed about the days gone by.

    Am              G         
And what were they doing, those 
   C              F
people from the government?
        Am          G            
Burning sacrificial gasoline to 
C               F
keep the dogs at bay.
               Am            
And there were shadows in the 
 G             C                  
hedgerows and strange lights from 
     F
the sliproads,
      C
So we huddle on the motorway, brave 
boys,
   C
We huddled on the motorway
