[Intro]
G Gaug Em C G D Em

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

[Chorus]
G                      Gaug
Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma.
Em/G                                      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                                   Cmaj7                        D/C     C
You hear the tolling bell, and touch the silk in your lapel,
        G                                                    D                             Em
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band,
C                          D
You take her frail hand .... and hold on to the dream.

[Instrumental]
| G | Gaug | Em     | C D    |
| G | D       | Em D | C D/C |
| G | D       | C       | G Em  |
| C | Em     | Em     |

[Verse]
G                       Gaug
A place to stay, enough to eat,
Em                                            C
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street.
                        G                                                            D
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears,
                            Em
And what's more no-one 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/C
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control,
        G                                             D
And everyone has recourse to the law,
        C                                             G      Em
And no-one kills the children anymore.
C                                                        G
No-one kills the children anymore.

[Outro]
C                  D                 G               D             Em      D
Night after night, going round 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                                             D
We cannot just write off his final scene.
C                         G         Em
Take heed of the dream,
C                Em
Take heed.
