Pink Floyd - Sorrow (Gilmour)


Em D/E Em D/E Em D/E C/E Em D/E Em D/E

Em
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land

D/E
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:

C/E
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,

Em D/E Em D/E
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking


Em
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise,

D/E
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise

C/E
He's chained forever to a world that's departed

Em D/E
It's not enough, it's not enough.


Em
His blood has frozen curdled with fright

D/E
His knees have trembled given way in the night

C/E
His hand is weakend at the moment of truth

Em D/E Em D/E
His step has faltered.


Bm A/B D/A Bm/F# F#m
One world, one soul.

Bm A/B A Bm/F# F#m
Time pass, the river rolls.

Em
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication

D/E
And silent replies that swirl invitation

C/E
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea

Em D/E Em D/E
A grim intimation of what is to be.

Em
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night

D/E
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight

C/E
And silence that speaks so much louder than words,

Em D/E
Of promises broken.
