Pink Floyd arrow / When the Tigers Broke Free

: When the Tigers Broke Free

It was jC 
ust before dawn one m
Gsus 
iserable morning in 
C 
black forty-four

C 
When the foreward commander was told to sit tight,

When they asked that his F/C 
men be with
C 
drawn

C 
And the generals gave thanks, as the other ranks

Gsus 
Held back the enemy t
C 
anks for a while

And the C 
Anzio Bridgehead was 
Gsus 
held for the price

Of a C 
few hundred ordinary lives


C 
And kind old King 
G 
George sent Mother a 
C 
note when he heard that 
G 
Father was gone

C 
It was, I re
G 
call, in the form of a 
C 
scroll with gold leaf and all

C 
And I found it one day in a drawer of old photographs hidden away

C 
And my eyes still grow damp to re
Gsus 
member

His Majesty C 
signed with his own rubber stamp

C 
It was dark all a
G 
round, there was frost on the 
C 
ground

When the Tigers broke G 
free


C 
And no-one survived from the Royal Fusiliers, Company "C"

G 
They were all left be
C 
hind, most of them 
G 
dead - the rest of them 
C 
dying

C 
And that's how the 
G 
high command took my 
C 
daddy from me
