A Great Day For Freedom chords by Pink Floyd (Ver. 2)

Verse 1:

C
On the day the wall came down

C
They threw the locks onto the ground

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

C
On the day the wall came down

C
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground

Ab                             G
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

Chorus 1:

F
I dreamed you had left my side

F                         C         F C
No warmth, not even pride remained

F
And even though you needed me

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

Verse 2:

C
Now life devalues day by day

C
As friends and neighbors turn away

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

C
Now frontiers shift like desert sands

C
While nations wash their bloodied hands

Ab                      G
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey

Chorus 2:

F
I woke to the sound of drums

F                                 C            F C
The music played, the morning sun streamed in

F
I turned and I looked at you

F                               C
And all but the bitter residues slipped away...

G
Slipped away
