Chords in this song5

Verse 1

Jesus, Jesus, what's it all about?
Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape.
When I was their age all the lights went out.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, There was no time to whine or mope about.

Bridge 1

And even now part of me flies
Over Dresden at angels-one-five.
Though they'll never fathom it, behind my sarcasm
Desperate memories lie.

Verse 2

Sweetheart sweetheart are you fast asleep? Good.
'Cause that's the only time that I can really speak to you.
And there is something that I've locked away
A memory that is too painful to withstand the light of day.

Bridge 2

When we came back from the war
The banners and flags hung on everyone's door.
We danced and we sang in the street
And the church bells rang.
[Coda] (3/4)
But burning in my heart,
The memory smoulders on
Of the gunner's dying words on the intercom.
