Intro: A-D-; (6x) G-;
A-D
A
I dream of all the years decaying
A
I dream of bitter ending street smiles
G A
Hateful goodbyes, demented lines
(Do 1st stanza chords)
I dream of guns with red round triggers
And bullets that won’t ever miss
And wounds that won’t heal, hands that won’t fell
Chorus:
D
Is this hollow ground sinking?
A
Will tears stop their falling?
G A
Can I speak the truth if they cut my tongue?
D E
One night you wake up you’re screaming with trembling hands
A G (hold)
And the frightening part is you don’t understand.
Ad Lib: (Do stanza chords)
A G
And as we go on living each day
A A
We must tell ourselves that we have to carry on
A A
And every night, as we lay down and deliver our prayers
Dm G A
To live to see another day, but down here no one cares
Dm G A
And your troubles will be found, buried 6 feet in the ground.
Ad Lib: (Do stanza chords)
(Do 1st stanza chords)
We dream a land of milk and money
Of coffee mornings bright and sunny
Sex on the phone, you’re not alone
A G A
And every night, as we lay down and deliver our prayers
Dm G A
To live to see another day, but when nightmares come around
Dm
We’ll be drinking all our wine
G A
Buried 6 feet in the ground
Coda: A-Dm-G-; (2x) A (hold)
