The Gunners Dream

Em/G                  C
Memories come rushing up to meet me 
now.
       G
In the space between the heavens
           D                     
And in the corner of some foreign 
        C
field,
        G      Em  C
I had a dream,
        G
I had a dream.

[Chorus]
G            Gaug
Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma.
Em/G                        
After the service when you're 
  C
walking slowly to the car
        G                          
And the silver in her hair shines 
      D
in the cold November air,
    Em                         
You hear the tolling bell, and 
Cmaj7                  D/C     C
touch the silk in your lapel,
    G                              
And as the tear drops rise to meet 
    D                      Em
the comfort of the band,
C                  D
You take her frail hand and hold on 
to the dream.

[Verse]
G                Gaug
A place to stay, enough to eat,
Em                           C
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely 
down the street.
              G                    
Where you can speak out loud about 
                D
your doubts and fears,
                Em
And what's more no-one ever 
disappears,
You never hear their standard issue 
Cmaj7
kicking in your door.
G                D
You can relax on both sides of the 
tracks,
            Em                 
And maniacs don't blow holes in 
 C                      D7/C
bandsmen by remote control,
    G                           
And everyone has recourse to the 
 D
law,
    C                        
And no-one kills the children 
    G     Em
anymore.
C                                 
No-one kills the children anymore.

Night after night, going round 
  D        Em      D
and round my brain,
    C        D            G
His dream is driving me insane.
       G
In the corner of some foreign field,
    D
The gunner sleeps tonight.
Em                     C    D/C
What's done is done.
   G                               
We cannot just write off his final 
D
scene.
C                G       Em
Take heed of his dream,
C           Em
Take heed.
