The Hero's Return

  D
Jesus, Jesus, what's it all about?
  D
Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape
     D
When I was their age all the lights went out
D
There was no time to whine or mope about
   C7M                     D
And even now part of me flies
  C7M
Over Dresden at angel's one five
D     C7M
Though they'll never fathom it behind my
                            D
Sarcasm desperate memories lie

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

To withstand the light of day

  C7M                      D
When we came back from the war
  C7M                                    D
The Banners and flags hung on everyone's door
    C7M
We danced and we sang in the street and
                  D
The church bells rang

  G          D       C
But burning in my heart
 G         D         C
My memory smoulders on
  G           D        C             Em9
Of the gunner's dying words on the intercom
