The Great Ones Remember

[Cm]

(verse)

[Eb]
Imagine yourself on the verge of committing
[Eb/Db]
An act that you've always found silly or strange
[Eb]
Imagine yourself on the edge of discovering
[Bbsus4]  [Bb]
Lately things have not been going your way

Communication is hard to establish
When things like a state of mind get in the way
People don't eat they just think what you feed them now 
The horses with their blinders eating the hay

Silently watching yourself in the mirror
Wondering if somebody else is to blame
Could it be somebody's in on your destiny
Lately things have trouble looking the same

Could it be somebody else has the answer
Could it be somebody's pulling my strings
Say, that is quite a nice dress that you're wearing now
Jump into another ring

(bridge)

[Bb] Can you i- [F] -magine what [Eb] we put up with [F] now
[Bb] Generals and [F] morons say [Eb] we are still as  [F] proud
[Bb] We coin the [F] phrases like [Eb] "We must win or [F] die."
{Bb] It's all so [F] confusing for [Eb] me, hello good- [F] -bye

(chorus)

[Ab] Don't for- [Eb] -get that the [Bb] great ones re- [F] -member and 
[Ab] Please, don't for- [Eb] -get that we're [Bb] nearing De- [F] -cember and 


Isn't it funny, the way it's connected
The print on your shirt and the one on the wall
Imagine if everyone had the same haircut
Wouldn't it be funny running it all?

Communication is hard to maintain
When the clothes that you're wearing are hurting my eyes
Things like improvement don't come overnight, boy
But, at least you could try


Can you imagine what we put up with now
Generals and morons say we are still as proud
We coin the phrases like we must win or die,
It's all too confusing for me, hello goodbye


Don't forget that the great ones remember and 
Please, don't forget that we're nearing December and 
Please, don't forget that the great ones remember and 
Please, don't forget where you were told to send her...

[NOTE:  in the verse, each time the Bbsus4 resolves to Bb, it's followed by a short riff that goes:
