VERSE 1:
|Db |%
Dry your eyes and take your song out,
|Gb |%
it’s a newborn afternoon.
|% |Db
And if you can’t recall the singer,
|% |Ab |%
you can still recall the tune.
VERSE 2:
|Db |%
Dry your eyes and play it slowly,
|Gb |%
like you’re marching off to war.
|% |Db |
Sing it like you know he'd want it,
% |Ab |%
like we sang it once be-fore.
VERSE 3:
|Db |%
And from the centre of the circle,
|Gb |%
to the midst of the waiting crowd.
|% |Db
If it ever be for-gotten,
|% |Ab
sing it long and sing it loud.
BRIDGE:
Ab7 |Db |% |B |%
And come dry your eyes.
VERSE 4:
|E |%
And it taught us more about giving,
|A |%
than we ever cared to know.
|% |E
But we came to find the secret,
|% |B |%
and we never let it go.
VERSE 5:
|E |%
And it was more than being holy,
|A |%
oh it was less than being free.
|% |E
And if you can’t recall the reason,
|% |B |%
can you hear the people sing.
VERSE 6:
|E |%
Right through the lightning and the thunder,
|A |%
to the dark side of the moon.
|% |E
To that distant falling angel,
|% |B
that de-scended much too soon.
BRIDGE:

And come dry your eyes.

And come dry your eyes.
