A Great Day For Freedom

Pink Floyd

1. On the day the wall came down
   They threw the locks onto the ground
   Fmi                                   Gsus4       
   And with glasses high we raised a cry for
            G
   freedom had arrived
   
2. On the day the wall came down
   The Ship of Fools had finally ran aground
   Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

R: I dreamed you had left my side
                             C
   No warmth, not even pride remained
       F
   And even though you needed me
                                      C             G
   It was clear that I could not do a thing for you 
   
3. Now life devalues day by day
   As friends and neighbours turn away
   And there's a change that, even with regret, 
   cannot be undone
   
4. Now frontiers shift like desert sands
   While nations wash their bloodied hands
   Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey
   
R: 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 residues slipped away
   ... slipped away
