Roger Waters – The Gunners Dream (Guitar)

D             Daug
Floating down through the clouds

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.

D            Daug
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                         Gmaj7                  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.

D                Daug
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,

                                    Gmaj7
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.

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.
