Roger Waters - Each small candle

No^Cmt the torturer will scare me Nor the body's final fall Nor the barrels of death's rifles Nor the shadows on the wall Nor the night when to the ground The last dim star of pain is hurled But the blind indifference Of a merciless unfeeling world. (fig #01 plays throughout verse) ^CmLying in the burnt out shell of some Albanian farm Fig #02 G Bb Cm An old Babooshka holds a crying baby in her arms Fig #02 A soldier form the other side, a man of heart and pride Breaks rank, lays down his rifle, to kneel by her side Play fig #01; ^CmHe ^Ggi^Bbves^Cm her water, binds her wounds and calms the cryingchild Fig #02 G Bb Cm Her touch gives absolution then, across the great divide Fig #02 G Bb Cm He picks his way back through the broken china of her life ^GAn^Bbd t^Cmhere at the curb the samaritan Serb turns and waves goodbye fig #01; Chorus: ^CmAnd each small candle - lights a corner of the dark Each small candle - lights a corner of the dark ^GEa^F5ch ^D5sma^Eb5ll c^D5and^Eb5le l^D5ights a corner of the dark, and ^CmWhen the wheels of pain stop turning, And the branding irons stop burning, when the Children can be children, When the desperados weaken, And the tide rolls in to greet them, And the natural law of science, Brings the humble and the mighty, And the brilliant candles burning,
