VERSE: Cm Cm(add b5) Cm Cm (add b5) On the day the wall came down, they threw the locks on to the ground Fm/Ab Gsus4 G And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived Cm Cm(add b5) And on the day the wall came down Cm Cm(add b5) The ship of fools had finally run aground Fm/Ab Gsus4 G Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight CHORUS: F G/F F G/F F F/C C I dreamed you had left my side. No warmth not even pride remained-- F/C F G/F F G/F F And even though you needed me, it was clear that I could not F/C C C G/C G/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 Submitted by FloydFan86
