Pink Floyd - Sorrow (Gilmour)
EmD/EEmD/EEmD/EC/EEmD/EEmD/E
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Em
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
D/E
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
C/E
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
Em D/E Em D/E
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
Em
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise,
D/E
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
C/E
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
Em D/E
It's not enough, it's not enough.
[Verse 2]
Em
His blood has frozen curdled with fright
D/E
His knees have trembled given way in the night
C/E
His hand is weakend at the moment of truth
Em D/E Em D/E
His step has faltered.
[Bridge]
Bm A/B D/A Bm/F# F#m
One world, one soul.
Bm A/B A Bm/F# F#m
Time pass, the river rolls.
[Interlude]
Gmaj7D/AGmaj7D/A B A/B B Bm
N.C./ N.C./
Gmaj7D/AGmaj7D/A B A/B B BmA/B
N.C./ N.C./
[Verse 3]
Em
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
D/E
And silent replies that swirl invitation
C/E
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
Em D/E Em D/E
A grim intimation of what is to be.
Em
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
D/E
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
C/E
And silence that speaks so much louder than words,
Em D/E
Of promises broken.
EmD/EEmD/E
[Outro]
