Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow.

  D/E                     Em
I used to read books but.....
   C/E
It could be the news,
        Em
Or some other abuse,
      D/E               Em
Or it could be reusable shows.
G                   D                        Em
Fuck all that we've got to get on with these

No need to worry about the Vietnamese.

Got to bring the Russian bear to his knees.

Well, maybe not the Russian bear,
          Em
Maybe the Swedes.

Two Suns In The Sunset
Tom: D
Intro: D  A  G  A  D
D                          G                   A
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down,
D                             G       A   D
Sinking behind bridges in the road
      G                     A
And I think of all the good things
     D       A      G
That we have left undone
D/F#  Em
And I suffer premonitions,
Bm
Confirm suspicions,
Em                  A        D  A  G  A
Of the holocaust to come.
D
The wire that holds the cork
     G                    A
That keeps the anger in,
D
Gives way
                  G           A   D
And suddenly it's day again.
    G                A
The sun is in the east
     D          A      G     D/F#
Even though the day is done.
Em
Two suns in the sunset
Bm
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Em                         A
Could be the human race is run.
A  D  A  G  A  D  A  G  A  D
Bm                              A
Like the moment when the brakes lock
Bm
And you slide towards the big truck
    G                  A                 D
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
Bm                              A
And you'll never hear their voices,
Bm
And you'll never see their faces,
G           A                   D    A
You have no recourse to the law anymore.
G  A  D  A  G  A  D
D
And as the windshield melts
G                    A
My tears eveaporate,
D                          G       A   D
Leaving only charcoal to defend.
G           A            D        A      G     D/F#
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Em
Ashes and diamonds,
Bm
Foe and friend,
Em                       A
We were all equal in the end.

Little by little the night turns around,

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,
Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

Over the mountains watching the watcher,

Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,
Am                      G            Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
G  Am  F  Am  F  Am
                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...
Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,
                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven
Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,
Am                   G            Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

Grantchester Meadows
Tom: E
Intro: E  A/E  E

 

E           A/E                 E
Icy wind of night be gone. This is not your domain.
             A/E                 E
In the sky a bird was heard to cry.
A                             D/A                   E
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sound
         A/E             E
Belied a deathly silence that lay all around.
A                        G              F#m           E
Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground.
A                        G          F#m             E
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.
      A                 G         F#m              E
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees,
A                                 G              F#m            E
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea.
E            A/E        E
In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.
                 A/E           E
All around me golden sunflakes settle on the ground.
A                          D/A
Basking in the sunshine of a by-gone afternoon,
E                  A/E         E
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city doom.
A                        G              F#m           E
Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground.

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.

All around me golden sunflakes covering the ground.
A                          D/A
Basking in the sunshine of a by-gone afternoon,
E                  A/E         E
Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city doom.
A                        G              F#m           E

When The Tigers Broke Free
Tom: C
        C                    Gsus                C
It was just before dawn one miserable morning in black forty-four
C
When the foreward commander was told to sit tight,
                         F/C        C
When they asked that his men be withdrawn
C
And the generals gave thanks, as the other ranks
Gsus                 C
Held back the enemy tanks for a while
        C                    Gsus
And the Anzio Bridgehead was held for the price
     C
Of a few hundred ordinary lives

C                 G                    C                       G
And kind old King George sent Mother a note when he heard that Father was gone
C           G                      C
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll with gold leaf and all
C
And I found it one day in a drawer of old photographs hidden away
C                                Gsus
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
            C
His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp
C                G                             C
It was dark all around, there was frost on the ground
                      G
When the Tigers broke free
C
And no-one survived from the Royal Fusiliers, Company "C"
G                    C                   G                         C
They were all left behind,  most of them dead  -  the rest of them dying
C                  G                    C
And that's how the high command took my daddy from me

The Thin Ice
Tom: C
C               Am
Mamma loves her baby

If you should go skating
       F                        G
On the thin ice of modern life
C                       Am
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
     Fmaj7                 G
Of a million  tear stained eyes
C                         Am
Dont be surprised, when a crack in the ice
F                  G
Appears under your feet
         C                     Am
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
          F                        G
With your fear flowing out  behind you
N.C.
As you claw the thin ice
The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
Tom: G
Intro: Dm   Gm     Am
G    Am
When we grew up and went to school
                                G
There were certain teachers who would
Am                C            Am
Hurt the children any way they could
Am                             F
By pouring their derision upon anything we did
  Am                       Em                            Am
Exposing every weakness, however carefully hidden by the kids
           D                                    Bb
But in the town it was well known when they got home at night
                    Gm
Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them

Within inches of their lives

Mother should I trust the government

       And the epilogue reads like a sad song
       E                              D
       Please pick up your camera and use me again
       A             C            G       Bb
       Build me a time when the charters rhyme
               F             A 
       And the story line is kind.

   So, so you think you can tell, heaven from hell?  Blue skies from pain?
                     D                        C                     Am
Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail?  A smile from a veil?
                     G                          C                      D
Do you think you can tell?  Did they get you to trade, your heroes for ghosts?
              Am                    G                              D
Hot ashes for trees?  Hot air for a cool breeze?  Cold comfort for change
              C                             Am                        G
And did you exchange, a walk-on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage...
(guitar solo - repeat intro)
C                               D
How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year

Running over the same old ground, what have we found - the same old fears?
              G
Wish you were here

 

                              
Another brick in the wall 
Tom: Dm

 

Dm
Daddy's flown across the ocean

Leaving just a memory

A snapshot in the family album
Dm                                G
Daddy what else did you leave for me

We don't need no education
Dm
We don't need no thought control
Dm
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Dm                               G
Teachers leave them kids alone
G                            Dm
Hey teacher leave them kids alone

All in all it's just another brick in the wall
F                       C                   Dm
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
Dm                               Dm7
I don't need no arms around me
Dm                                Dm7
I don't need no drugs to calm me
Dm
I have seen the writing on the wall
Dm                             G
Don't think I need anything at all
                                  Dm
No don't think I need anything at all
F                 C                      Dm
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
F                   C                      Dm
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall

Hey You

Em  Dm  Em  Dm  Em(9)
Hey you! out there in the cold
                                     Bm
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
    Em(9)
Hey you! standing in the aisles
                                           Bm
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
D                               D7       G  D  C
Hey you! don't you help them to bury the light
Bm           Am         Em       Dm
Don't give in without a fight.
    Em(9)
Hey you! out there on your own
                                     Bm
Sitting naked by the phone would you touch me
    Em(9)
Hey you! with your ear against the wall
                                          Bm
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me
D                             D7        G  D  C
Hey you! would you help me to carry the stone
Bm              Am          Em
Open your heart, I'm coming home
Am   Em   Am   Em   Am   Em
C          D      G D  C
But it was only a fantasy
C                         G   D   C
The wall was too high, as you can see
C                D              G   D     C
No matter how he tried he could not break free
                  D7       Em   Dm   Em   Dm   Em   Dm   Em   Dm
And the worms ate into his brain.
Em(9)   Bm
Hey you! out there on the road
                                Bm
Doing what you're told, can you help me
G   Em(9)
Hey you! out there beyond the wall
                                      Bm
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
D                              D7         G  D  C
Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all
  Bm             Am           Em(9)
Together we stand, divided we fall.

I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
     F                                        C
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
F      C
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
         E             E7
Got these swollen hand blues.

Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from

And I've got second sight

And that is how I know
Am                         C+   C6
When I try to get through
                         C/G   D
On the telephone to you
Fm6               C       F
They'll be nobody home
               C
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
          E                        E7+
And the inevitable pinhole burns
F                                           C
All down in the front of my favourite satin shirt

I've got a strong urge to fly
    Fm                  C       E    Am    D7   G     E7
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Am         C                           D7
Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone
Fm6                  C       F   C
There's still nobody home
F          C
I've got a pair of Gohills boots

And I've got fading roots
Comfortably Numb 
Tom: G
Bm
Hello
                 A
Is there anybody in there ?
                    G         Em
Just nod if you can hear me
         Bm
Is there anyone at home ?
Bm
Come on now
            A
I hear your feeling down
G               Em
I can ease your pain
            Bm
And get you on your feet again
Bm
Relax
                    A
I'll need some information first
G              Em
Just the basic facts
       Bm
Can you show me where it hurts?
D                          A
There is no pain you are receding
D                             A
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
C                              G
You are only coming through in waves
C                                           G
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
     D                     A
When I was a child I had a fever
   D                        A
My hands felt just like two ballons
C                               G
Now I've got that feeling once again
                               C
I can't explain, you would not understand
                  G
This is not how I am
A   Bm  C(9)        G                D
I            have become comfortably numb.
A  D  A  C  G  C  G
A   D       G                  D
I      have become comfortably numb.
Bm
O.K.
              G
Just a little pinprick
                        Em
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
            Bm
But you may feel a little sick
Bm      Bm(9)     Bm
Can you stand up?
                  A
I do believe it's working, good
                 G
That'll keep you going through the show
     Bm
Come on it's time to go.
D                           A
There is no pain, you are receding
D                             A
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
C                              G
You are only coming through in waves
     C                                      G
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
     D                         A
When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
D                       A
Out of the corner of my eye
C                           G
I turned to look but it was gone
                       C
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
    G
The dream is gone
A#   A  G  C(9)     G                D
And          I have become comfortably numb.
