Flickering Flame
by Roger Waters
E
When my neurons conspire to direct my thoughts

Away from divorce and competitive sports

Back to the place where all rivers run to the sea
A E
Then I......I shall be free
A E
Yes I.......I shall be free
C
On a see-saw in a strange land
F
The jackdaw sat on the cardinals hand
C
And the fiddlers played
And the planners plan what would be
G G7 G G7
C
On a back seat in a court room
F
sat Molly Malone and Leopold Bloom
C
Until the police came down with a new broom
And swept them clean
G G7 G G7
Am
Like Geronimo
Like Quinn the Eskimo
Em
Like the Blackfoot
And like the Arapaho
Am
Like Crazy Horse
D
I'll be the last one to lay down my gun???
G C G C G G/F# Em D C D

On the open road in a bar room

A pick up band plays a new tune
C
When the coloured girls sing
I feel my heart boom
G G7 G G7
C
When a new song hits the right note
F
When a clearing in the sky saves an old boat
C
When an insight strikes the mote
From my own eye
G G7 G G7

Like Geronimo
Like Quinn the Eskimo
Em
Like Blackfoot
And like the Arapaho

Like Crazy Horse

I'll be the last one to lay down my gun???

On an African Plain by a thorn tree

My old friend Philippe is waiting for me

Quelle sera, sera
What ever will be will be

From that deep well that never runs dry

And the men take their whisky outside

In a pied 'a' terre
A
on the rue St Denis
E
The red velvet curtain pulls back to reveal

The place where the dark side meets the angel in me???..
E
the angel in me
C
When my synapses pause in their quest for applause

When my ego lets go of its end of the bone

To focus instead on a love that is precious to me

Then I?????..I shall be free
