1. Floating down through the clouds 
   Em/G                  C
   Memories come rushing up to meet me now.  
   G
   In the space between the heavens 
   D                             C
   And in the corner of some foreign field, 
   G      Em  C
   I had a dream,   
   G
   I had a dream.

2. Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma.  
   Em/G                          C
   After the service when you're walking slowly to the car  
   G                                D
   And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air,  
   Em                         Cmaj7                  D/C     C
   You hear the tolling bell, and touch the silk in your lapel,  
   G                                  D                      Em
   And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band,  
   C                  D
   You take her frail hand and hold on to the dream.

3. A place to stay, enough to eat,
   Em                           C
   Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street.
   G                                    D
   Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears,
   Em
   And what's more no-one ever disappears,
   Cmaj7
   You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door. 
   
   G                D
4. You can relax on both sides of the tracks,  
   Em                  C                      D7/C
   And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control,  
   G                            D
   And everyone has recourse to the law, 
   C                            G     Em
   And no-one kills the children anymore.
   C                                   G
   No-one kills the children anymore.

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