This whole album is fantastic - features David Gilmour and Kate Bush too on a number of songs btw. I had posted Black Cloud Of Islam but it got booted off, thanks for this one though! If it was right to be believing, And write his name in blood And then I met him when I died, Well I'd have it out with god But if it means Degrading scenes And sanctioning crusade I'd know we couldn't stand man to man Without feeling afraid If it was wrong for not believing, In fairytale facade And then I met him when I died, Well I'd apologise to god But if it meant I went down on my knees Well where's the spirit gone Where's the love you're all talking of When you can't stand man to man? Man to man When you can't stand man to man. I find it hard to believe, In these 'gospels' that I've heard The forked tongue of the bible belt, The ayatollah's word I don't believe most anything Spoken by anyone As hell's fanatic paranoids Fire heaven's loaded gun If it's right to be believing, Then it must be in this: That difference is beautiful, And living it is bliss, There are no teams There is no side And that life on earth is done By living the love you're only talking of By standing man to man Man to man

starman714 yes you are right the whole album, "Once", is fantastic. But what I want to say is thank you for posting the lyrics. I was quoting them tonight on another YT channel called "Titans TV" and I imagined that I might have misquoted the last verse. Thanks to you I see I quoted correctly. That last verse seemed pertinent to what was being discussed on Titans TVs livestream. On the subject of BCOI and from memory : "I'm sick to the teeth of the news on the screen, Of the Hizbullah scum & Jihad the obscene, Whose men plant the bombs & then live feeling free to watch women & children be killed on TV. Which Satan delivered a child a death curse That's not from some worn out collection of verse. I've not read the book so I cannot recite But I bet Salman Rushdie was just about right. Underneath the Black Cloud of Islam. And what kind of god can this be anyway That you have to prostrate to him five times a day With hate in your heart & a gun in your hand. Is force the only thing to understand? Selling himself as a two-bit Macbeth as the expert in sentencing cousins to death. And you can put a lead bullet clean through this guitar 'cause I'm not overjoyed with the story so far Sharing the world with the nutters of god Is as good as being six feet under the sod. And I am the prophet so don't believe me I'm the same as the old ones except that I'm free To give you a piece of my mind which is this You're the worst of jehovah's blind witlessnesses With your feet at the door of the deepest abyss which is underneath the Black Cloud of Islam. So let's see if KZitem takes this comment down....✌

Basically C F Dm7 G7 C but main fingerpicking alternates C with a sort of F6 (xx3030). Thats what I do.

@@dczzzz55 It may be worth noting that, as mentioned in the sleeve notes on ‘Once’, Roy had lowered his guitars tunings. So your C is actually a D shape where you lift finger off top string. It’s the same riff as Descendants… Not saying your chords are wrong, but the playing is different when you tune down.

Black cloud is only opinion - that we are 'free' to disagree with in a free speech nation. I like the song. I also like some muslims I meet very much. Go figure.
