Bm/D                  G
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
       D
In the space between the heavens
           A                             G
And in the corner of some foreign field,
        D      Bm  G
I had a dream,
        D
I had a dream.

[Chorus]
D            Daug
Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma.
Bm/D                          G
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
        D                                A
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air,
    Bm                         Gmaj7                  A/G     G
You hear the tolling bell, and touch the silk in your lapel,
    D                                  A                      Bm
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band,
G                  A
You take her frail hand and hold on to the dream.

[Verse 2]
D                Daug
A place to stay, enough to eat,
Bm                           G
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street.
              D                                    A
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears,
                Bm
And what's more no-one ever disappears,
                                    Gmaj7
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
D                A
You can relax on both sides of the tracks,
            Bm                  G                      A7/G
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control,
    D                            A
And everyone has recourse to the law,
    G                            D     Bm
And no-one kills the children anymore.
G                                   D
No-one kills the children anymore.

[Outro]
G             A          D         A        Bm      A
Night after night, going round and round my brain,
    G        A            D
His dream is driving me insane.
       D
In the corner of some foreign field,
    A
The gunner sleeps tonight.
Bm                     G    A/G
What's done is done.
   D                               A
We cannot just write off his final scene.
G                D       Bm
Take heed of his dream,
G           Bm
Take heed.
