Capo on third fret.

^C I used to think the world was flat ^Am Rarely threw my hat into the crowd I^F felt I had used up my quota of y^Gearning ^C Used to look in on the children at night ^Am In the glow of their Donald Duck light A^Fnd frighten myself with the thought of my little ones ^Gburning

But ^Amoh, oh, oh^G, the tide is t^Curning ^Am ^G The tide is t^Curning

^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 l^Gearning ^AmBut oh, oh, oh^G, the tide is t^Curning ^Am ^G The tide is t^Curning ^AmOh, oh, oh,^G the tide is t^Curning

^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 b^Gurning ^AmOo, oo, oo,^G the tide is t^Curning ^AmOo, oo, oo,^G the tide is t^Curning

[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 W^Gar Lords ^AmOh, oh, oh,^G the tide is t^Curning ^Am ^G The tide is t^Curning 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..
