The Gunner's Dream

[Intro] G  Em  C  G  D  Em

G             G5+
Floating down through the clouds
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

G            G5+
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

( G  G   Em  C  D )
( G  D  Em  D  C  D/C )
( G  D  C  G  Em  C  Em )

G                G5+
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                            D
And everyone has recourse to the law
    C                        
And no-one kills the children 
    G     Em
anymore
C                                 
No-one kills the children anymore
  G


C             D          G       
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
