DUDE’S DREAM (ROLLING IN THE RUINS) (Michael Moorcock)
[Am]Isn't it delicious, there's a red sun in the sky
Every time we[G] see it rise, another city[Am] dies
And[E7] the bombs blow up the cemeteries
And the [C]dead give up their [Em]graves
But we [Am]go on making[G] out, babe, through the short, bleak [Am]days.
And I [E7]really wish you'd tell me if your [C]skin is feeling [Em]right
I [Am]don't like the way your [C]shoulder peeled last [Em]night
And the [Am]bombs blow up the houses
And the [C]bombs uproot the [G]trees
And I [Am]saw my children [C]carried off on a [G]strange, bright [Am]breeze
But there [E7]ain't no point in weeping
And there [Am]ain't no point in [G]lying
Let's [Am]laugh, and make the most of it
After [G]all, we're only dying!
[Am]Rolling, we're[G] rolling in[Em] the ruins
[Am]Rolling, we're [G]rolling in the[Em] ruins
[Am]Rolling, we're [G]rolling in the [E]ruins
And we [Am]know we're [G]bound to [Em]go.
[Am]Since we found the doctor's surgery, I'm feeling rather fine
Send a shot of this and a [G]shot of that up that old main [Am]line
And the [E7]bombs blow up the churches
And the [C]priests cry out for [Em]faith
Kiss my [Am]mouth while I still [C]have it, take my [G]hand, and keep it [Am]safe
Hear my [E7]heart while it's still beating, hear my [C]breath while it can [Em]last
And [Am]take another roll, dear, but we'd [C]better make it [Em]fast
And the [Am]bombs destroy our hopes
And the [C]bombs fragment our [G]dreams
And we're [Am]bound to pause and [C]wonder if [G]all is what it [Am]seems
But there [E7]ain't no point in leaving
For there's [C]nowhere left to [Em]go
Just [Am]smile and make it [C]tender
Make it [G]kind and make it slow.
[Am]Rolling, we're [G]rolling in the [Em]ruins
[Am]Rolling, we're [G]rolling in the [Em]ruins
[Am]Rolling, we're [G]rolling in the [Em]ruins
And we [Am]know we're [G]bound to [Em]go.
[Am]Isn't it delicious, there's a red sun in the sky
