 D
Jesus, Jesus, what's it all about?
Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape
When I was their age all the lights went out
There was no time to whine or mope about

Chorus:
Cmaj7                     D
And even now part of me flies over
Cmaj7
Dresden at angels one five
D      Cmaj7
Though they'll never fathom it behind my
                            D
Sarcasm desperate memories lie

  D
Sweetheart sweetheart are you fast asleep? Good
'Cause that's the only time that
I can really speak to you
And there is something that I've locked away
a memory that is too painful
To withstand the light of day

Chorus:
Cmaj7                       D       Cmaj7
When we came back from the war the banners and
                          D
Flags hung on everyone's door
   Cmaj7
We danced and we sang in the street and
                  D
The church bells rang

     G             C
But burning in my heart,
    G              C
My memory smolders on
        G             C           Em
Of the gunners dying words on the intercom
