Learning to Fly (Gilmour, Ezrin, Moore, Carin)
---------------
G+G A/GA/G G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7 D MajorD

 G+G        A/GA/G    G+G      Gmaj7Gmaj7
Into the distance, a ribbon of black

 E minor 7Em7                      D MajorD
Stretched to the point of no turning back


 G+G        A/GA/G     G+G      Gmaj7Gmaj7
A augmentedA flight of fancy on a windswept field


 E minor 7Em7                 D MajorD
Standing alone my senses reeled


 G+G         A/GA/G   G+G       Gmaj7Gmaj7
A augmentedA fatal attraction is holding me fast, how


 E minor 7Em7                    D MajorD
Can I escape this irresistible grasp'


 C majorC          Em/B       A minorAm      G+G
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky


 FF                 C majorC       D MajorD
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I


G+G A/GA/G G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7


 G+G      A/GA/G      G+G      Gmaj7Gmaj7
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

 E minor 7Em7                       D MajorD
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything


 G+G      A/GA/G   G+G        Gmaj7Gmaj7
No navigator to guide my way home


 E minor 7Em7                   D MajorD
Unladened, empty and turned to stone


 C majorC        Em/B      A minorAm         G+G
A augmentedA soul in tension that's learning to fly


 FF               C majorC
Condition grounded but determined to try


          Em/B       A minorAm       G+G
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies


 FF                 C majorC       D MajorD
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I


FF Am7Am7 D9D9 D MajorD


 G+G
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,


 E minor 7Em7
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,


 G+G
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly


 E minor 7Em7
Out of the corner of my watering eye


 G+G
A augmentedA dream unthreatened by the morning light


 E minor 7Em7
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night


 C majorC          Em/B    A minorAm          G+G
There's no sensation to compare with this


  FF           C majorC
Suspended animation, a state of bliss


          Em/B       A minorAm       G+G
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies


 FF                 C majorC       D MajorD
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I


G+G A/GA/G G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7 D MajorD


The Dogs of War (Gilmour, Moore)
---------------
 C minorCm
Dogs of war and men of hate, with no cause, we don't disciminate

Discovery is to be disowned, our currency is flesh and bone

 EbmEbm
Hell opened up and put on sale, gather 'round and haggle


 C minorCm
For hard cash, we will lie and decieve

Even our masters don't know the web we weave

 AbAb                 F minorFm
One world, it's a battleground. One world, and we will smash it down.


 C minorCm
One world... One world


 C minorCm
Invisable transfers, long distance calls, hollow laughter in marble halls

Steps have been taken, a silent uproar has unleashed the dogs of war

 EbmEbm
You can't stop what has begun, signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion


 C minorCm
We all have a dark side, to say the least

And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

 AbAb                 F minorFm
One world, it's a battleground. One world, and they smash it down.


 C minorCm
One world... One world


Cm7Cm7 F/CF/C EbmEbm EbM7Ebm7 Dm7Dm7 Dbm7Dbm7 Cm7Cm7 F/CF/C Cm7Cm7 F/CF/C AbAb F minorFm Gsus4Gsus4
Cm7Cm7 AbAb F minorFm G+G C minorCm


 C minorCm
The dogs of war don't negotiate, the dogs of war won't capitulate,

They will take and you will give, and you must die so that they may live

 EbmEbm
You can knock at any door,

But wherever you go, you now they've been there before

 C minorCm
Well winners can lose and things can get strained

But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain

 AbAb
One world, it's a battleground


 Fm7Fm7             G7sus4G7sus4
One world, are we gonna smash it down


 C minorCm
One world... One world


One Slip (Gilmour, Manzanera)
--------
Eb MajorEb              Gm(add4)
A augmentedA restless eye across a weary room

 Eb MajorEb                     Fsus4Fsus4
A augmentedA glazed look and I was on the road to ruin


   C majorC                        Eb6Eb6   Eb MajorEb
The music played and played as we whirled without end


 FF             Ab(add9)
No hint, no word her honour to defend


Eb MajorEb                Gm(add4)
I will, I will she sighed to my request

         Eb MajorEb                        Fsus4Fsus4    FF  Fsus4Fsus4
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test


   C majorC                     Eb MajorEb
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire, I lead the way to the funeral pyre


     FF
And without a thought of the consequence, I gave into my decadence


C(add9)             Ebmaj7/Bb
One slip, and down the hole we fall

  Bb(add9)         Gm(add9)
It seems to take no time at all

 C(add9)              Ebmaj7/Bb
A augmentedA momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life

  Bb(add9)                Gm(add9)
A augmentedA small regret, you won't forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight.

Eb MajorEb Gm/D G minorGm Eb MajorEb Gm/D G minorGm


Eb MajorEb                    Gm(add4)
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love'

        Eb MajorEb                         Fsus4Fsus4    FF  Fsus4Fsus4
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove'


   C majorC                      Eb MajorEb
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown


   FF
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone


C(add9)             Ebmaj7/Bb
One slip, and down the hole we fall.

  Bb(add9)         Gm(add9)
It seems to take no time at all

 C(add9)              Ebmaj7/Bb
A augmentedA momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life

  Bb(add9)                  Gm(add9)
The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight

Eb MajorEb Gm/D G minorGm Eb MajorEb Gm/D G minorGm


On the Turning Away (Gilmour, Moore)
-------------------
N.C.
On the turning away from the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in the turning away"

 E minorEm    D/F#D/F#        G+G       C majorC       E minorEm
It's a sin that some how light is changing to shadow


   D/F#D/F#       G+G       C majorC
And casting its shroud over all we have known


 E minorEm         C majorC      G+G    E minorEm        G+G     C majorC
Unaware how the ranks have grown, driven on by a heart of stone


 G+G             C majorC   E minorEm       D/F#D/F#       G+G
We could find that we're all alone in the dream of the proud.


 E minorEm    D/F#D/F#       G+G       C majorC       E minorEm
On the wings of the night as the day time is stirring


      D/F#D/F#       G+G      C majorC
Where the speachless unite in a silent accord


 E minorEm           C majorC     G+G       E minorEm          G+G      C majorC
Using words you will find are strange and mesmerized as they light the flame


 G+G           C majorC    E minorEm     D/F#D/F#       G+G
Feel the new wind of change on the wings of the night


E minorEm D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC D MajorD E minorEm A minorAm G/BG/B Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD A minorAm G+G Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD E minorEm


 E minorEm         G+G       C majorC       E minorEm
No more turning away from the weak and the weary


     D/F#D/F#     G+G       C majorC
No more turning away from the coldness inside


 E minorEm           C majorC     G+G       E minorEm          G+G      C majorC
Just a world that we all must share, it's not enough just to stand and stare


 G+G       C majorC           E minorEm      D/F#D/F#     G+G    D/F#D/F#
Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away'


E minorEm C majorC E minorEm D MajorD G+G D/F#D/F#


Yet Another Movie (Gilmour, Leonard)
-----------------
DmDm C majorC G minorGm DmDm

 DmDm
One sound, one single sound


 C majorC
One kiss, one single kiss


  G minorGm
A augmentedA face outside the window pane


  DmDm
However did it come to this'


  DmDm
A augmentedA man who ran, a child who cried


   C majorC
A augmentedA girl who heard, a voice that lied


    G minorGm
The sun that burned a fiery red


   DmDm              C majorC  G minorGm   DmDm
The vision of an empty bed


   DmDm
The use of force, he was so tough


    C majorC
She'll soon submit, she's had enough


   G minorGm
The march of fate, the broken will


   DmDm
Someone is lying very still


 DmDm
He has laughed and he has cried


 C majorC
He has fought and he has died


     G minorGm
He's just the same as all the rest


   DmDm
He's not the worst, he's not the best


DmDm C majorC G minorGm DmDm


   DmDm
And still this ceaseless murmuring


   C majorC
The babbling that I brook


   G minorGm
The seas of faces, eyes upraised


   DmDm
The empty screen, the vacant look


  DmDm
A augmentedA man in black on a snow white horse,


    C majorC
A augmentedA pointless life has run its course,


     G minorGm
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run


    DmDm
As he fades into the setting sun


DmDm C majorC G minorGm DmDm

A augmentedA New Machine Part One (Gilmour)
----------------------
 Cm9Cm9
I have always been here

I have always looked out from behind the eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime

Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way it has always been'
Could it ever have been different'

Do you ever get tired of the waiting'
Do you ever get tired of being in there'
Don't worry, nobody lives forever,
Nobody lives forever

It's only a lifetime

Sorrow (Gilmour)
------
E minorEm D/ED/E E minorEm D/ED/E E minorEm D/ED/E C/EC/E E minorEm D/ED/E E minorEm D/ED/E

 E minorEm
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land


 D/ED/E
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:


 C/EC/E
A augmentedA man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,


   E minorEm              D/ED/E           E minorEm   D/ED/E
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking


   E minorEm
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise,


    D/ED/E
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise


   C/EC/E
He's chained forever to a world that's departed


   E minorEm                D/ED/E
It's not enough, it's not enough.


   E minorEm
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright


   D/ED/E
His knees have trembled & given way in the night


   C/EC/E
His hand is weakend at the moment of truth


   E minorEm           D/ED/E   E minorEm   D/ED/E
His step has faltered.


 B minorBm   A/BA/B    D/AD/A    Bm/F#     F# minorF#m
One world,   one   soul.


 B minorBm   A/BA/B   A augmentedA   Bm/F#    F# minorF#m
Time pass, the river rolls.


Gmaj7Gmaj7 D/AD/A Gmaj7Gmaj7 D/AD/A N.C./B A/BA/B N.C./B B minorBm
Gmaj7Gmaj7 D/AD/A Gmaj7Gmaj7 D/AD/A N.C./B A/BA/B N.C./B B minorBm A/BA/B


    E minorEm
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication


   D/ED/E
And silent replies that swirl invitation


 C/EC/E
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea


  E minorEm          D/ED/E         E minorEm   D/ED/E
A augmentedA grim intimation of what is to be.


      E minorEm
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night


       D/ED/E
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight


   C/EC/E
And silence that speaks so much louder than words,


  E minorEm          D/ED/E
Of promises broken.


E minorEm D/ED/E E minorEm D/ED/E
