Pink Floyd - The Fletcher Memorial Home

Pink Floyd - The Fletcher Memorial Home (Waters)


G C G/B Am
Take all your overgrown infants away, somewhere,

D Bb+ Bm A/C#
And build them a home, a little place of their own.

D Em C D Em7 D/F# G C
The Fletcher Memorial Home for incurable tyrants and kings.

G C G/B Am
And they can appear to themselves every day,

D Bb+ Bm A/B Bm
On closed circuit T.V. to make sure they're still real.

C D Em
It's the only connection they feel.


Cmaj7
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Reagan and Haig,

D
Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher and Paisley,

Cmaj7
Mr. Brezhnev and party, the ghost of McCarthy,

D
The memories of Nixon. And now adding colour,

G D/F# C
A group of anonymous Latin-American meat packing glitterati."


Em D
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?

G D/F# C
They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles,

G D/F# C
And amuse themselves playing games for a while.

G D/F# C Em add9
Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead.


G D/F# Em D/F# G D/F# Em D Cmaj7 D

G D/F# C D G D/F# Cmaj7 D G D/F# Cmaj7 Em add9


G C G/B Am
Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye,

D Bb+ Bm
With their favorite toys, they'll be good girls and boys.

A/C# D Em C D Em7 D/F# G
In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial wasters of life and limb.


D/F# C G D/F# C add9
Is everone in? Are you having a nice time?

D/F# C Em add9
Now the final solution can be applied.
