Chords with lyrics

VERSE:
C minorCm        Cm(add b5)    C minorCm        C minorCm (add b5)
On the day the wall came down, they threw the locks on to the ground
Fm/Ab                   Gsus4Gsus4       G+G
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

C minorCm         Cm(add b5)
And on the day the wall came down
C minorCm          Cm(add b5)
The ship of fools had finally run aground
Fm/Ab      Gsus4Gsus4      G+G
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight


CHORUS:
   FF    G/F   FF            G/F FF    F/CF/C C majorC
I dreamed you had left my side. No warmth not even pride remained--
   F/CF/C      FF      G/F  FF            G/F   FF
       And even though you needed me, it was clear that I could not
   F/CF/C C majorC     C majorC  G/C  G/BG/B
do a thing for you

VERSE:
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there’s a change that even with regret can not be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands,
as nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey


CHORUS:
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you,
and all but the bitter residue slipped away,
slipped away


OUTRO SOLO


THATS IT
