The Gunners Dream

[Intro]
G Gaug G6 C
G D Em

[Verse 1]
G             Gaug
 Floating down    through the clouds
G6                      C
  Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
           G                                 D
But in the space between the heavens and the corner of some
foreign field
C              G Em
 I had a dream.
C              G
 I had a dream.

[Verse 2]
G
 Goodbye Max.
Gaug
    Goodbye Ma.
G6                              C
  After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
        G                                    D
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold
November air
Em
You hear the tolling bell
    Cmaj7
And touch the silk in your lapel
    G                                  D
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
Em C                   D
    You take her frail hand
                         G
And hold on to the dream.

[Verse 3]
G
 A place to stay
Gaug
    Enough to eat
Em                             C
  Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
              G
Where you can speak out loud
                           D
About your doubts and fears
                Em
And what's more noone ever disappears
                                   Cmaj7
You never hear their standard issue     kicking in your
door.
G                 D
 You can relax on both sides of the tracks
           Em                    C                         D7
And maniacs  don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
    G                               D
And everyone has recourse to the law
    C                                G Em
And noone kills the children anymore.
C                                  G
 No one kills the children anymore.

[Bridge]
C                 D
 Night after night
      G         D        Em   D Em D Em D Em D Em D
Going round and round my brain
Em D   C        D            G
   His dream is driving me insane.

[Outro]
       G
In the corner of some foreign field
    D
The gunner sleeps tonight.
Em
  What's done is done.
C   G                                     D
 We cannot just write off his final scene.
C
 Take heed of his dream.
G Em C          Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D
      Take heed.
