After a near miss on the plane
You swear you’ll never fly again
After the first kiss when you make up
You swear you’ll never break up again
And when you’ve just run a red light
Sit shaking under the street light
You swear to yourself you’ll never drink and
drive again (Sometimes I feel like going
home) You swear you’ll never let things go by
again. (Sometimes I miss the rain and
snow) And you’ll never toe the party
line again (And when the east wind blows
Sometimes I feel like going home)

Bm ———- C7 C6 C

Goodbye little spy in the sky.
They say that cameras don’t lie.
Am I happy, am I sad, am I good, am I bad?

This song is definitely one of Roger Waters’ best lyrical efforts.

Could be Jerusalem, or it could be Cairo
Could be Berlin, or it could be Prague
Could be Moscow, could be New York
Could be Llanelli, and it could be Warrington
Could be Warsaw
and it could be Moose Jaw
Could be Rome, Everybody got somewhere they call
home

When they overrun the defences
A minor invasion put down to expenses
Will you go down to the airport
C#m (in all the other choruses, this is just a B)
lounge
Will you accept your second class status
A nation of waitresses and waiters
Will you mix their martinis, Will you stand
still for it, Or will you take to the
hills

And so forth.

Capo on third fret.

I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning

But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning

Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest, who is the best
Who holds the aces, the East or the West
This is the crap our children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Now the satellite’s confused
‘Cos on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning

(spoken:)The tide is turning Billy

I’m not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology’s sword from the hand of the War Lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester

Am G C over “The tide is turning” in various ways until fade out.

Additionally: Roger Waters played this verse live, and included it as an easter egg on
cd (it is the morse code all over Radio K.A.O.S.

Now the past is over but you are not alone
Together we’ll fight Sylvester Stallone
We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
of macho bullshit and mediocrity

Play like all the other verses and include som of the “Oh, oh, oh, …” afterwards..
