THE FINAL CUT
Pink Floyd
(Waters)
[F]Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained [F/C]eyes__[C]__
I can [Bb]bar[add9]ely define the shape of this moment in [F]time.
And [F]far from flying high in clear blue [F/C]skies_[C]__,
I'm [Bb]spi[add9]ralling down to the hole in the ground where I [F]hide.
Bb F|| Accoustic guitar
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive,|| begins here.
||
Bb F|| Listen to record
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes,|| for strumming rhytm.
||
Bb C Dm||
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,||
||
Gm7||
Dial the combination, open the priesthole||
||
C F||
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall.|| Stop here.
[Am]There's a kid who had a big hallucina[F]tion
[Am]Making love to girls in maga[C]zines.
He [Bb]wonders if you're sleeping with your [Dm]new found faith.
[Gm7]Could anybody love him
Or is it just a [/C]crazy dream_[F]__?[F/C] [C] [Bb] [add9] [F]
And [F]if I show you my dark [C]side
Will you still hold [Bb]me to[F]night?
And [F]if I open my [C]heart to you
And show you my weak [Bb]side,
What would you [F]do?
[Bb]Would you sell your story to Rolling [F]Stone?|| Start again here.
||
Bb||
Would you take the children away||
||
F||
And leave me alone?||
||
Bb C||
And smile in reassurance||
||
Dm||
As you whisper down the phone,||
||
Gm7||
Would you send me packing,|| Stop here.
[/C]Or would you take me [F]home?
[Am] [F] [Am] [C] [Bb] [Dm] [Gm7] [/C] [F]
