Subject: CRD: "Folded Flags" by Roger Waters

I captured this of an FTP site and after playing it on the piano I
noticed several mistakes in the chords and the lyrics.  Here is my
corrected version:
 
FOLDED FLAGS
by Roger Waters
 
chords by Karl Magnacca, with assistance from members of Echoes
(corrected by Chad Hendrickson)
 
D              Dmaj7
Rock-a-bye baby on the treetop
              D7                    G
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
   D                     A
Oh babe, hate to see you fall that way
Bm                              A    G
Better speak to the Powers That Be today
 
D                                A
Hey Joe where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
        Bm                            A          G
You can take your revenge, but you'll still feel bad
             D                                    A
There must be more to life than Lucky Strikes and some unlucky ones,
C                G         D
Folded flags and pipes and drums
 
D                                  Dmaj7
I stood in the wings with you, our lives in the hands of a second-rate actor
D7                                  G
Held on the high ground of some big stage
   D                  A
Oh babe, how do these jaded stars get so far away?
Bm                             A      G
Will they catch what the other actors say?
 
D                                 A
Hey Joe where you goin' with that dogma in your head?
        Bm                                   A        G
You can prove your point but your kids will still be dead
D                                 A
Bring down the curtain, this soap opera must surely close
C          G          D
Before the cold wind blows
 
G                                 D
Hey Joe where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
        G                                        D
You can take your revenge, but you'll still feel bad
Em             A                  Em                A
Bring down the curtain, this soap opera must surely close
F#m        Fm        Em
Before the cold wind blows
 
D                 Dmaj7
So rock-a-bye babe on the treetop
              D7                    G
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
             D                                    A
There must be more to life than Lucky Strikes and some unlucky ones,
Bm               Dm        Em        D
Folded flags and pipes and drums
