Pink Floyd - The Hero's Return (Waters)


D
Jesus, Jesus, what's it all about?


Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape.


When I was their age all the lights went out.


There was no time to whine or mope about.

Cmaj7                      D
And even now part of me flies over

Cmaj7
Dresden at angels one five.

D      Cmaj7
Though they'll never fathom it behind my

                           D
Sarcasm desperate memories lie.


D
Sweetheart sweetheart are you fast asleep? Good.


'Cause that's the only time that I can really speak to you.


And there is something that I've locked away


A memory that is too painful


To withstand the light of day.

Cmaj7                      D       Cmaj7
When we came back from the war the banners and

                         D
Flags hung on everyone's door.

   Cmaj7
We danced and we sang in the street and

                 D
The church bells rang.

    G             C
But burning in my heart,

   G                C
My memory smoulders on

       G             C            Em add9
Of the gunners dying words on the intercom.
