 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

         C7
 Within inches of their lives


 F   Bb   F   Bb   F   Bb   F   C

 Teachers leave them kids alone

10. One of my Turns
    --- -- -- ----

 C              Em
 Day after day, love turns grey

          F                   C
 Like the skin of a dying man

 C                            Em
 And night after night, we pretend it's all right

     Dm
 But I have grown older and

 Dm
 You have grown colder and

 Dm                   G7
 Nothing is very much fun anymore.

     C     Em   F                      C
 And I can feel one of my turns coming on.

 C Fmaj7 Em    Dm
 I       feel, cold as a razor blade

 Dm
 Tight as a tourniquet

 Dm               G7
 Dry as a funeral drum

 Eb           Bb            Eb              Bb
 Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left

        C7      Dm Bb E7  Dm     Am  Dm    Am
 You'll find my favourite axe

 Bb
 Don't look so frightened

         Eb                   Bb
 This is just a passing phase

        Dm
 One of my bad days

 Bb        Eb              Bb
 Would you like to watch T.V.?

    Eb                    Bb
 Or get between the sheets?

          Dm
 Or contemplate the silent freeway?

 Dm
 Would you like something to eat?

           Eb
 Would you like to learn to fly?  Would you?

           Dm
 Would you like to see me try?

 D       G   C   Eb   Bb   Eb   Bb   Dm     Eb   Bb   Eb   Bb   Dm

 Am7  Dm7  C           Eb
             Would you like to call the cops?

 Eb
 Do you think it's time I stopped?

 Why are you running away?

 I need you Babe

 To put through the shredder


 In front of my friends

       Fm

 How could you go?

                               G
 When you know how I need you.

                         G+
 To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night

       Fm
 Ooooh Babe

                Fmmaj7   Dm7-5
 Don't leave me now

                           Bb9
 How can you treat me this way?


 Running away

 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

 Em9  Dm  Em9 Dm

     Em9
 Hey you! out there in the cold

                                      Bm
 Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me

     Em9
 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.

     Em9
 Hey you! out there on your own

                                      Bm
 Sitting naked by the phone would you touch me

     Em9
 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.

     Em9
 Hey you! out there on the road

                                 Bm
 Doing what you're told, can you help me

 G   Em9
 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           Em9
 Together we stand, divided we fall.

 There's still nobody home

 I've got a pair of Gohills boots

 And I've got fading roots

 Some sunny day

19. Comfortably Numb
    ----------- ----

 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?


 D2                          A4
 There is no pain you are receding

 D2                              A4
 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

      D2                     A4
 When I was a child I had a fever

    D2                          A4
 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  C9          G                D
 I            have become comfortably numb.


 A  D  A  C  G  C  G


 Asus   A/B  C         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      Bm9     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.


 D2                           A4
 There is no pain, you are receding

 D2                             A4
 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

      D2                         A4
 When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse

 D2                       A4
 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

 Asus  A/B  C           G                D
 And          I have become comfortably numb.

 So ya thought ya might like to go to the show

 A
 To feel the warm thrill of confusion

 That space cadet glow

 I've got some bad news for you sunshine

 Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel

 And they sent us along as a surrogate band

 We're gonna find out where you fans really stand

 Are there any queers in the theater tonight

 Get 'em up against the wall

 There's one in the spotlight


 He don't look right to me

 Get him up against the wall

 And that one looks Jewish


 And that one's a coon

 Bm                         Bm6
 Who let all this riff raff into the room

 There's one smoking a joint and


 Another with spots

 If I had my way

 I'd have all of you shot

 You better make your face up in


 Your favourite disguise

 With your button down lips and your


 Roller blind eyes

 With your empty smile


 And your hungry heart

 Feel the bile rising from your guilty past

 With your nerves in tatters


 When the cockleshell shatters

 And the hammers batter


 Down your door

 Deep inside. And if you're

 F
 Taking your girlfriend


 Out tonight,

 You better park the car


 Well out of sight

 'Cos if they catch you in the backseat


 Trying to pick her locks

 They're gonna send you back to mother


 In a cardboard box

 You better run.

 Walk on by

 Waiting to weed out the weaklings


 Waiting to smash in their windows

 And kick in their doors.

 Waiting for the final solution

 To strengthen the strain

 I wanna go home

 Take off this uniform

 And leave the show

 And I'm waiting in this cell

 Because I have to know

 Have I been guilty all this time



25. The Trial
    --- -----

[?Intro:?]

 Em


 Em
 Good morning worm your honour


 The crown will plainly show

     Am
 The prisoner who now stands before you

                               Em
 Was caught red handed showing feelings

                                     C
 Showing feelings of an almost human nature

               B7
 This will not do


 Call the schoolmaster

 Em
 I always said he'd come to no good


 In the end your honour

           Am
 If they'd let me have my way I could


 Have flayed him into shape

 G
 But my hands were tied

     Go
 The bleeding hearts and artists

         D
 Let him get away with murder

        D D/Eb  D/E  D/F D/F#  D/G  D/Ab  A
 Let me hammer  him  today

 Eo Em  Eo   Em C/E Em E4      Eb/B   B  Eb/B B Co/B B
 Crazy  toys in the attic I am cra---zy, truly gone fishing

 F#m  D                          Ebo
        They must have taken my marbles away

 Eo Em  Eo   Em C/E Em E4      Eb/B   B
 Crazy  toys in the attic I am cra---zy


 Call the defendants wife

 Em
 You little sh*t, you're in it now

                                   Am
 I hope they throw away the key


 You should have talked to me more often

                          Em
 Than you did, but no you had to


 Go your own way. Have you broken any


 Homes up lately?

 C
 "Just five minutes Worm your honour

 B
 Him and me alone"

 Em
 Babe

 F#m            F#          Bm/D
 Come to mother baby let me hold you

 A/C#  Bm
 In my arms

 G                           Go
 M'lud I never wanted him to get in any trouble

          D/A
 Why'd he ever have to leave me

           D D/Eb  D/E  D/F  D/F#  D/G  D/Ab    A
 Worm your honour  let  me   take  him  home

 Eo Em  Eo Em  C/E  Em  E4     Eb/B B  Eb/B  B   Co/B B
 Crazy, over the rainbow, I am crazy,  bars  in  the window

F#m       D                                   Ebo
    There must have been a door there in the wall


 When I came in

 Eo Em  Eo Em  C/E  Em  E4     Eb/B  B
 Crazy over the rainbow he is cra---zy

     Em
 The evidence before the court is

                           Am
 Incontravertable, there's no need for


 The jury to retire

    Em
 In all my years of judging


 I have never heard before of

 Am
 Someone more deserving


 The full penalty of law

     Em
 The way you made them suffer


 Your exquisite wife and mother

 Am
 Fills me with the urge to defecate

 Em
 Since, my friend, you have revealed your


 Deepest fear

   Am
 I sentence you to be exposed before


 Your peers.

 Em                    Am
 Tear down the wall.

 The bleeding hearts and artists

 Make their stand

 And when they've given you their all

 Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy

 Banging your heart against some mad buggers
