Pink Floyd - The Hero's Return (Waters)
[Verse 1]
D
Jesus, Jesus, what's it all about?
D
Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape.
D
When I was their age all the lights went out.
D
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, There was no time to whine or mope about.
[Bridge 1]
Cmaj7 D
And even now part of me flies
Cmaj7
Over Dresden at angels-one-five.
D Cmaj7
Though they'll never fathom it, behind my sarcasm
D
Desperate memories lie.
[Verse 2]
D
Sweetheart sweetheart are you fast asleep? Good.
D
'Cause that's the only time that I can really speak to you.
D
And there is something that I've locked away
D
A memory that is too painful to withstand the light of day.
[Bridge 2]
Cmaj7 D
When we came back from the war
Cmaj7 D
The banners and flags hung on everyone's door.
Cmaj7
We danced and we sang in the street
D
And the church bells rang.
[Coda] (3/4)
G D C
But burning in my heart,
G D C
The memory smoulders on
G D C Emadd9
Of the gunner's dying words on the intercom.
