Rebel Waltz The Clash
I s[G]lept and I [Em]dreamed of a [Bm]time long ago
I saw an [G]army of [Em]rebels, [Am]dancing on [D]air
I [G]dreamed as I [C]slept, I could [Bm]see the campfires,
A [Bm]song of the [Em]battle, that was [Bm]born in the [Em]flames,
and the [Bm]rebels were [D]waltzing on [G]air.
I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz
that was written to be danced on the battlefield
I danced to the song of a voice of a girl
A voice that called "Stand till we fall
we stand till all the boys fall."
As we danced came the news that the war was not won
5 armies were coming, with carrige and gun
Through the heart of the camp swept the news from the front
A cloud crossed the moon, a child cried for food
We knew the war could not be won.
So we danced with a rifle, to the rhythm of the gun
in a glade through the trees i saw my only one
Then the earth seemed to rise hell hot as the sun
The soldiers were dying, there was tune to the sighing.
The song was an old rebel one.
As the smoke of our hopes rose high from the field
My eyes played tricks through the moon and the trees
I slept as I dreamed I saw the army rise
A voice began to call, stand till you fall
The tune was an old rebel one.
