The Tide Is Turning After Live Aid Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

C I used to think the world was flat

Am Rarely threw my hat into the crowd

IF felt I had used up my quota of yGearning

C Used to look in on the children at night

Am In the glow of their Donald Duck light

AFnd frighten myself with the thought of my little ones Gburning

But Amoh, oh, ohG, the tide is tCurning

Am G The tide is tCurning

CSatellite buzzing through the endless night

AmExclusive to moonshots and world title fights

FJesus Christ imagine what it must be Gearning

CWho is the strongest, who is the best

AmWho holds the aces, the East or the West

FThis is the crap our children are lGearning

AmBut oh, oh, ohG, the tide is tCurning

Am G The tide is tCurning

AmOh, oh, oh,G the tide is tCurning

CNow the satellite's confused

'Cos on Saturday night

AmThe airwaves were full of compassion and light

FAnd his silicon heart warmed

To the sight of a billion candles bGurning

AmOo, oo, oo,G the tide is tCurning

AmOo, oo, oo,G the tide is tCurning

[spoken:]The tide is turning Billy

CI'm not saying that the battle is won

AmBut on Saturday night all those kids in the sun

FWrested technology's sword from the hand of the WGar Lords

AmOh, oh, oh,G the tide is tCurning

Am G The tide is tCurning 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..
