Roger Waters

^C I used to think the world was flat
^Am Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I ^F felt I had used up my quota of y ^G earning
^C Used to look in on the children at night
^Am In the glow of their Donald Duck light
A ^F nd frighten myself with the thought of my little ones ^G burning
But ^Am oh, oh, oh ^G , the tide is t ^C urning
^{Am G} The tide is t ^C urning
^C Satellite buzzing through the endless night
^Am Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
^F Jesus Christ imagine what it must be ^G earning
^C Who is the strongest, who is the best
^Am Who holds the aces, the East or the West
^F This is the crap our children are l ^G earning
^Am But oh, oh, oh ^G , the tide is t ^C urning
^{Am G} The tide is t ^C urning
^Am Oh, oh, oh, ^G the tide is t ^C urning
^C Now the satellite's confused
'Cos on Saturday night
^Am The airwaves were full of compassion and light
^F And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles b ^G urning
^Am Oo, oo, oo, ^G the tide is t ^C urning
^Am Oo, oo, oo, ^G the tide is t ^C urning
(spoken:)The tide is turning Billy
^C I'm not saying that the battle is won
^Am But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
^F Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the W ^G ar Lords
^Am Oh, oh, oh, ^G the tide is t ^C urning
^{Am G} The tide is t ^C urning 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..
