A Great Day For Freedom chords by Pink Floyd

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Verse 1:

C majorC
On the day the wall came down

C majorC
They threw the locks onto the ground

  AbAb                  G+G
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

C majorC
On the day the wall came down

C majorC
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground

AbAb               G+G
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

Chorus 1:

FF
I dreamed you had left my side

FF             C majorC     FF C majorC
No warmth, not even pride remained

FF
And even though you needed me

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

Verse 2:

C majorC
Now life devalues day by day

C majorC
As friends and neighbors turn away

       AbAb               G+G
And there’s a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

C majorC
Now frontiers shift like desert sands

C majorC
While nations wash their bloodied hands

AbAb           G+G
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey

Chorus 2:

FF
I woke to the sound of drums

FF                 C majorC      FF C majorC
The music played, the morning sun streamed in

FF
I turned and I looked at you

FF                C majorC
And all but the bitter residues slipped away...

G+G
Slipped away

Outro:
FF

FF C majorC
