One world, and we will smash it down. Cm One world... One world Cm Invisable transfers, long distance calls, hollow laughter in marble halls Steps have been taken, a silent uproar has unleashed the dogs of war Ebm You can't stop what has begun, signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion Cm We all have a dark side, to say the least And dealing in death is the nature of the beast Ab Fm One world, it's a battleground. One world, and they smash it down. Cm One world... One world Cm7 F/C Ebm Ebm7 Dm7 Dbm7 Cm7 F/C Cm7 F/C Ab Fm Gsus4 Cm7 Ab Fm G Cm Cm The dogs of war don't negotiate, the dogs of war won't capitulate, They will take and you will give, and you must die so that they may live Ebm You can knock at any door, But wherever you go, you now they've been there before Cm Well winners can lose and things can get strained But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain Ab One world, it's a battleground Fm7 G7sus4 One world, are we gonna smash it down Cm One world... One world One Slip (Gilmour, Manzanera) - -------- Eb Gm(add4) A restless eye across a weary room Eb Fsus4 A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin C Eb6 Eb The music played and played as we whirled without end F Ab(add9) No hint, no word her honour to defend Eb Gm(add4) I will, I will she sighed to my request Eb Fsus4 F Fsus4 And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test C Eb Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire, I lead the way to the funeral pyre F And without a thought of the consequence, I gave into my decadence C(add9) Ebmaj7/Bb One slip, and down the hole we fall Bb(add9) Gm(add9) It seems to take no time at all C(add9) Ebmaj7/Bb A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life Bb(add9) Gm(add9) A small regret, you won't forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight. Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm(add4) Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love? Eb Fsus4 F Fsus4 Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove? C Eb The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown F The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone C(add9) Ebmaj7/Bb One slip, and down the hole we fall. Bb(add9) Gm(add9) It seems to take no time at all C(add9) Ebmaj7/Bb A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life Bb(add9) Gm(add9) The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm/D Gm On the Turning Away (Gilmour, Moore) - ------------------- N.C. On the turning away from the pale and downtrodden And the words they say which we won't understand "Don't accept that what's happening is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in the turning away" Em D/F# G C Em It's a sin that some how light is changing to shadow D/F# G C And casting its shroud over all we have known Em C G Em G C Unaware how the ranks have grown, driven on by a heart of stone G C Em D/F# G We could find that we're all alone in the dream of the proud. Em D/F# G C Em On the wings of the night as the day time is stirring D/F# G C Where the speachless unite in a silent accord Em C G Em G C Using words you will find are strange and mesmerized as they light the flame G C Em D/F# G Feel the new wind of change on the wings of the night Em D Cmaj7 C D Em Am G/B Cmaj7 D Am G Cmaj7 D Em Em G C Em No more turning away from the weak and the weary D/F# G C No more turning away from the coldness inside Em C G Em G C Just a world that we all must share, it's not enough just to stand and stare G C Em D/F# G D/F# Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away? Em C Em D G D/F# Yet Another Movie (Gilmour, Leonard) - ----------------- Dm C Gm Dm Dm One sound, one single sound C One kiss, one single kiss Gm A face outside the window pane Dm However did it come to this? Dm A man who ran, a child who cried C A girl who heard, a voice that lied Gm The sun that burned a fiery red Dm C Gm Dm The vision of an empty bed Dm The use of force, he was so tough C She'll soon submit, she's had enough Gm The march of fate, the broken will Dm Someone is lying very still Dm He has laughed and he has cried C He has fought and he has died Gm He's just the same as all the rest Dm He's not the worst, he's not the best Dm C Gm Dm Dm And still this ceaseless murmuring C The babbling that I brook Gm The seas of faces, eyes upraised Dm The empty screen, the vacant look Dm A man in black on a snow white horse, C A pointless life has run its course, Gm The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run Dm As he fades into the setting sun Dm C Gm Dm Round And Around (Gilmour) - ---------------- Db Abm/Cb Eb Em7sus4 A New Machine Part One (Gilmour) - ---------------------- Cm9 I have always been here I have always looked out from behind the eyes It feels like more than a lifetime Feels like more than a lifetime Sometimes I get tired of the waiting Sometimes I get tired of being in here Is this the way it has always been? Could it ever have been different? Do you ever get tired of the waiting? Do you ever get tired of being in there? Don't worry, nobody lives forever, Nobody lives forever Terminal Frost (Gilmour) - -------------- Eb C D/C C Eb C Dm Bb C F/C C F/C C F/C C Dm Bb F/C C F/C F/C C F C/E Gm/D F C/E Gm/D D Eb C Dm Bb C F/C C F/C C F/C C Dm Bb F/C C F/C F/C C F C/E Gm/D F C/E Gm/D D A New Machine Part Two (Gilmour) - ---------------------- Cm9 I will always be in here I will always look out from behind these eyes It's only a lifetime It's only a lifetime It's only a lifetime Sorrow (Gilmour) - ------ Em D/E Em D/E Em D/E C/E Em D/E Em D/E Em The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land D/E Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky: C/E A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers, Em D/E Em D/E But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking Em He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise, D/E In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise C/E He's chained forever to a world that's departed Em D/E It's not enough, it's not enough. Em His blood has frozen & curdled with fright D/E His knees have trembled & given way in the night C/E His hand is weakend at the moment of truth Em D/E Em D/E His step has faltered. Bm A/B D/A Bm/F# F#m One world, one soul. Bm A/B A Bm/F# F#m Time pass, the river rolls. Gmaj7 D/A Gmaj7 D/A N.C./B A/B N.C./B Bm Gmaj7 D/A Gmaj7 D/A N.C./B A/B N.C./B Bm A/B Em And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication D/E And silent replies that swirl invitation C/E Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea Em D/E Em D/E A grim intimation of what is to be. Em There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night D/E And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight C/E And silence that speaks so much louder than words, Em D/E Of promises broken. Em D/E Em D/E
