[Primera Parte]

D             D5+
Floating dawn throgh the clauds
Bm/D                  G
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
       D
In the space between the heavens
           A                             G
And in the corner of some foreign field
        D      Bm  G
I had a dream
        D
I had a dream

[Estribillo]

D            D5+
Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma
Bm/D                          G
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
        D                                A
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
    Bm                         G7M                    A/G     G
You hear the tolling bell, and touch the silk in your lapel
    D                                  A                      Bm
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
G                  A
You take her frail hand and hold on to the dream

[Segunda Parte]

D                D5+
A place to stay, enough to eat
Bm                           G
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
              D                                    A
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears
                Bm
And what's more no-one ever disappears
                                    G7M
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
D                A
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
            Bm                  G                      A7/G
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
    D                            A
And everyone has recourse to the law
    G                            D     Bm
And no-one kills the children anymore
G                                   D
No-one kills the children anymore

[Final]

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