Tank Park Salute Chords by Billy Bragg

[G] Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers Leave the [C] lights on at the top of [G] the stairs
Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky
Tree taps on a windowpane That feeling [C] smothers me [G] again
That is it true that we all have to [C] die
At [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] the top of the [C] stairs [G] is darkness

_ [G] _ _ Close _ [Em] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] my eyes and when I looked your name was in the memorial book
And what had become of all the things we planned
I accepted the commiserations of all your friends and your relations
But there's some things I still don't [C] understand _
[G] You [C] _ [G] were so [C] tall, [G] how could you [C] fall?
Some [Bm] _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _
[G] _ photographs of a summer's day [Em] A little [C] boy's lifetime [G] away
Is all I've left of everything we've done _
Like a pale moon in a sunny [Em] sky Death gazes [C] down as I pass [G] by
To remind me that I'm but my [Em] father's [C] son _
[G] _ [C] I offer [G] up to you [C] this [G] tribute
_ [C] I offer [G] up to [C] you this Tank [G] Park Salute
