Pink Floyd - A Great Day for Freedom: chords

Cm
On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
          G#
And with glasses high we raised
            G
a cry for freedom had arrived
Cm
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
  G#                            G
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

Chorus:
    F
I dreamed you had left my side
                             C    F C
No warmth, not even pride remained
    F
And even though you needed me

It was clear that
                   C          G
I could not do a thing for you

Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbors turn away
And there’s a change that even with regret
Cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey

Chorus:
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitter
residues slipped away slipped away
