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:
Cm        Cm(add b5)
Now life devalues day by day
Cm        Cm(add b5)
As friends and neighbours turn away
Fm/Ab             Gsus4          G
And there's a change that even with regret can not be undone

Cm           Cm(add b5)
Now frontiers shift like desert sands,
Cm           Cm(add b5)
while nations wash their bloodied hands

Fm/Ab          Gsus4      G
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey


Chorus:
   F    G/F   F
I woke to the sound of drums
  G/F      F    F/C     C
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
F/C   F      G/F  F
I turned and I looked at you,
 G/F        F       F/C  C
and all but the bitter residue slipped away,
C  G/C  G/B
slipped away
