A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM

“The Division Bell”

CHORDS

VERSE:
Cm Cm(add B5) Cm Cm (add B5)
On the day the wall came down, they threw the locks on to the ground
Fm/Ab Gsus4 G
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

Cm Cm(add B5)
And on the day the wall came down
Cm Cm(add B5)
The ship of fools had finally run aground
Fm/Ab Gsus4 G
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

CHORUS:
F G/F F G/F F F/C C
I dreamed you had left my side. No warmth not even pride remained–
F F G/F F G/F F
And even though you needed me, it was clear that I could not
F C C G/C G/B
do a thing for you

VERSE:
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there’s a change that even with regret can not be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands,
as nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey

CHORUS:
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you,
and all but the bitter residue slipped away,
slipped away
