 Hurt the children any way they could

 Am               F
 By pouring their derision upon anything we did

  Am            Em              Am
 Exposing every weakness, however carefully hidden by the kids

      D                  Bb
 But in the town it was well known when they got home at night

 Like the skin of a dying man

 And night after night, we pretend it's all right

 But I have grown older and

 Dm
 You have grown colder and

 Dm          G7
 Nothing is very much fun anymore.

 And I can feel one of my turns coming on.

 I    feel, cold as a razor blade

 Dm
 Tight as a tourniquet

 Dry as a funeral drum

 Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left

    C7   Dm Bb E7 Dm   Am Dm  Am
 You'll find my favourite axe

 Bb
 Don't look so frightened

     Eb          Bb
 This is just a passing phase

    Dm
 One of my bad days

 Bb    Eb       Bb
 Would you like to watch T.V.?

  Eb          Bb
 Or get between the sheets?

 Or contemplate the silent freeway?

 Would you like something to eat?

 Would you like to learn to fly? Would you?

 Would you like to see me try?

 D    G  C  Eb  Bb  Eb  Bb  Dm   Eb  Bb  Eb  Bb  Dm

14. Hey You
  --- ---

 Em9 Dm Em9 Dm

   Em9
 Hey you! out there in the cold

                   Bm
 Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me

   Em9
 Hey you! standing in the aisles

                      Bm
 With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me

 D                D7    G D C
 Hey you! don't you help them to bury the light

 Bm      Am     Em    Dm
 Don't give in without a fight.

   Em9
 Hey you! out there on your own

                   Bm
 Sitting naked by the phone would you touch me

   Em9
 Hey you! with your ear against the wall

                      Bm
 Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me

 D               D7    G D C
 Hey you! would you help me to carry the stone

 Bm       Am     Em
 Open your heart, I'm coming home


 Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em


 C     D   G D C
 But it was only a fantasy

 C             G  D  C
 The wall was too high, as you can see

 C        D       G  D   C
 No matter how he tried he could not break free

          D7    Em  Dm  Em  Dm  Em  Dm  Em  Dm
 And the worms ate into his brain.

   Em9
 Hey you! out there on the road

                 Bm
 Doing what you're told, can you help me

 G  Em9
 Hey you! out there beyond the wall

                    Bm
 Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me

 D               D7     G D C
 Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all

  Bm       Am      Em9
 Together we stand, divided we fall.

 There is no pain you are receding

 D2               A4
 A distant ship smoke on the horizon

 C               G
 You are only coming through in waves

 C                      G
 Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

 Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

   D2             A4
 When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse

 D2            A4
 Out of the corner of my eye

 C              G
 I turned to look but it was gone

            C
 I cannot put my finger on it now


 The child is grown

   G
 The dream is gone

 And     I have become comfortably numb.

 And keep your dirty feelings


 Deep inside. And if you're

 F
 Taking your girlfriend


 Out tonight,

   Fm   Db
 You better park the car


 Well out of sight

 'Cos if they catch you in the backseat


 Trying to pick her locks

 They're gonna send you back to mother


 In a cardboard box

 You better run.

23. Waiting for the Worms
  ------- --- --- -----

 G  C   G           C
    Ooooh you cannot reach me now

  G          C
 Ooooh no matter how you try

 D            C
 Goodbye cruel world it's over

     G
 Walk on by

 G                 C   G Am
 Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall

         G       C
 Waiting for the worms to come

  G                C   G Am
 In perfect isolation here behind my wall

         G    C
 Waiting for the worms to come

 Am             G
 Waiting to cut out the deadwood

 Am            C
 Waiting to clean up the city

 Am     G     Am
 Waiting to follow the worms

                 G
 Waiting to put on a black shirt

 Am
 Waiting to weed out the weaklings


 Waiting to smash in their windows

             G
 And kick in their doors.

 Am
 Waiting for the final solution

              G
 To strengthen the strain

 Am     G     Am
 Waiting to follow the worms


 Waiting to turn on the showers

           G
 And fire the ovens

 Am
 Waiting for the queers and the coons

              G
 and the reds and the Jews

 Am     G     Am
 Waiting to follow the worms

 G
 Would you like to see Britannia

    C  G C    Bm Am
 Rule again my friend

 Am          G          Em
 All you have to do is follow the worms

 G
 Would you like to send our coloured cousins

   Bm C  G C
 Home a--gain my friend ?

 Am          G          Em
 All you need to do is follow the worms.


 STOP!



24. Stop
  ----

 Em7 C#o/E C/E Em ?Rpt.?:


 I wanna go home

 Take off this uniform

 And leave the show

 And I'm waiting in this cell

 Because I have to know

 Have I been guilty all this time



25. The Trial
  --- -----

?Intro:?:

 Em


 Em
 Good morning worm your honour


 The crown will plainly show

   Am
 The prisoner who now stands before you

                Em
 Was caught red handed showing feelings

                   C
 Showing feelings of an almost human nature

        B7
 This will not do


 Call the schoolmaster

 Em
 I always said he'd come to no good


 In the end your honour

      Am
 If they'd let me have my way I could


 Have flayed him into shape

 G
 But my hands were tied

   Go
 The bleeding hearts and artists

     D
 Let him get away with murder

    D D/Eb D/E D/F D/F# D/G D/Ab A
 Let me hammer him today

 Eo Em Eo  Em C/E Em E4   Eb/B  B Eb/B B Co/B B
 Crazy toys in the attic I am cra---zy, truly gone fishing

 F#m D             Ebo
    They must have taken my marbles away

 Eo Em Eo  Em C/E Em E4   Eb/B  B
 Crazy toys in the attic I am cra---zy


 Call the defendants wife

 Em
 You little sh*t, you're in it now

                  Am
 I hope they throw away the key


 You should have talked to me more often

             Em
 Than you did, but no you had to


 Go your own way. Have you broken any


 Homes up lately?

 C
 "Just five minutes Worm your honour

 B
 Him and me alone"

 Em
 Babe

 F#m      F#     Bm/D
 Come to mother baby let me hold you

 A/C# Bm
 In my arms

 G              Go
 M'lud I never wanted him to get in any trouble

     D/A
 Why'd he ever have to leave me

      D D/Eb D/E D/F D/F# D/G D/Ab  A
 Worm your honour let me  take him home

 Eo Em Eo Em C/E Em E4   Eb/B B Eb/B B  Co/B B
 Crazy, over the rainbow, I am crazy, bars in the window

F#m    D                  Ebo
  There must have been a door there in the wall


 When I came in

 Eo Em Eo Em C/E Em E4   Eb/B B
 Crazy over the rainbow he is cra---zy

   Em
 The evidence before the court is

              Am
 Incontravertable, there's no need for


 The jury to retire

  Em
 In all my years of judging


 I have never heard before of

 Am
 Someone more deserving


 The full penalty of law

   Em
 The way you made them suffer


 Your exquisite wife and mother

 Am
 Fills me with the urge to defecate

 Em
 Since, my friend, you have revealed your


 Deepest fear

  Am
 I sentence you to be exposed before


 Your peers.

 Em          Am
 Tear down the wall.



?Rpt. the last phrase again and again.?:

 All alone, or in  twos

 The ones who really love you

 Walk up and down outside the wall

 C     F/C C
 Some hand in  hand

 Some gathered together in bands

 The bleeding hearts and artists

 G C G   C
 Make their stand

 And when they've given you their all

   C  F/C G C      G
 Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy

 Banging your heart against some mad buggers
