A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM
"The Division Bell"
CHORDS
VERSE:
(add ) (add )
On the day the wall came down, they threw the locks on to the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
(add )
And on the day the wall came down
(add )
The ship of fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
CHORUS:
/ /C
I dreamed you had left my side. No warmth not even pride remained--
/
And even though you needed me, it was clear that I could not
G/
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
