#Brooker / Reid

#Is it on, Tommy? (don't know if the chords are right in the intro but the bassnotes are

It seems as clear as yesterday

We saw it in a dream

an awful gaping scream

And heaped up leaves of bitterness
Ab Bb C
turned mouldy down the years

Harder than the truth
Intro
middle8
D(m
Like Icarus we flew too high
Bb C G
We flew too near the sun
D(m
They caught us in that awful glare
Bb C G
Our hapless throats were strung
C D C D
But just before the final stroke
C G C G
They took us victims of the rope
C D C D
And cast us far beyond the deep
C G C G
To lie in never ending sleep
Intro
verse
It seems as clear as yesterday
They cast us in the deep
We lie in darkest night for good
Never ending sleep
A never ending bitter gloom
Whose darkness seldom clears
A God forsaken emptiness
Which fills our hearts with tears
Chorus
Intro
End on A Major
