Flickering Flame chords by Roger Waters

Chords with lyrics

Tuning:E

E MajorE
When my neurons conspire to direct my thoughts
A augmentedA
Away from divorce and competitive sports
E MajorE                      BB
Back to the place where all rivers run to the sea
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Then I......I shall be free
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Yes I.......I shall be free

C majorC
On a see-saw in a strange land
FF
The jackdaw sat on the cardinals hand
C majorC
And the fiddlers played
And the planners plan what would be

G+G    G7G7    G+G    G7G7

C majorC
On a back seat in a court room
FF
sat Molly Malone and Leopold Bloom
C majorC
Until the police came down with a new broom
And swept them clean

G+G    G7G7    G+G    G7G7

A minorAm
Like Geronimo
Like Quinn the Eskimo
E minorEm
Like the Blackfoot
And like the Arapaho
A minorAm
Like Crazy Horse
                  D MajorD
I'll be the last one to lay down my gun………

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

C majorC
On the open road in a bar room
FF
A augmentedA pick up band plays a new tune
C majorC
When the coloured girls sing
I feel my heart boom

G+G    G7G7    G+G    G7G7

C majorC
When a new song hits the right note
FF
When a clearing in the sky saves an old boat
C majorC
When an insight strikes the mote
From my own eye

G+G    G7G7    G+G    G7G7

A minorAm
Like Geronimo
Like Quinn the Eskimo
E minorEm
Like Blackfoot
And like the Arapaho
A minorAm
Like Crazy Horse
                 D MajorD
I'll be the last one to lay down my gun………

G+G    C majorC    G+G    C majorC
G+G    G/F#   E minorEm    D MajorD
They're the same beyond the next plain
                  E MajorE
I'll feel the heat of the flickering flame

E MajorE    A augmentedA    E MajorE    B7B7 x2
A augmentedA        E MajorE      x2

C majorC
On an African Plain by a thorn tree
FF
My old friend Philippe is waiting for me
C majorC
Quelle sera, sera
What ever will be will be

G+G    G7G7    G+G    G7G7

C majorC
When a friend dies and the tears rise
FF
From that deep well that never runs dry
C majorC
And the women break their bracelets
And the men take their whisky outside

G+G    G7G7    G+G    G7G7

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

E MajorE
In a pied 'a' terre
A augmentedA
on the rue St Denis
E MajorE
The red velvet curtain pulls back to reveal
B7B7
The place where the dark side meets the angel in me………..
             E MajorE
the angel in me

C majorC
When my synapses pause in their quest for applause
FF
When my ego lets go of its end of the bone
C majorC
To focus instead on a love that is precious to me
G+G        G7G7

FF        C majorC
Then I……………..I shall be free
