VERSE 1
G                 Emadd9                    Bm7
   Mother doesn't know where love has gone,

Cadd9            Em               Fadd9           C
   She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong

G                  Emadd9                Bm7
   I see it in her face thats turned to ice,

Cadd9            Em                  C             D
   and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice,

CHORUS
         C                    Dsus2          G    Dadd9/F#  Em
   and I know,   what they're saying, as our sun begins to fade,

C                Am7
   and we made our love on wasteland,

D                G
   and through the barricades,

VERSE 2
G         Emadd9       Bm7
   Father made my history,

Cadd9               Em                    Fadd9         C
   he fought for what he thought,   would set us somehow free,

G                Emadd9        Bm7
   he taught me what to say in  school,

Cadd9            Em              C                 D
   I learned it off by heart and now thats torn in two,

CHORUS
             C                 Dsus2         G     Dadd9/F#  Em
   and now I know what they're sayin' in the music of the parade,

C                Am7
   and we made our love on wasteland,

C                Fadd9 F Fadd9 F  Cadd9 C Cadd9 C   G
   and through the barricades,

VERSE 3
G          Emadd9               Bm7
   Born on different sides of life,

Cadd9    Em               Fadd9
     we feel the same and feel all of this strife,

G             Emadd9       Bm7
   so come to me when I'm asleep,

Cadd9      Em                 C               D
   we'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets,

CHORUS
         C                 Dsus2                G     Dadd9/F#  Em
   now I know what they're saying,     when the drums begin to fade,

C                Am7                D                G
   we made our love on wasteland,     and through the barricades,

MIDDLE 8

F     C                        G
   Oh turn around and I'll be there,

F                 C              G
theres a scar through my heart but I'll bear it again,

F                             C
well I thought we were the human race,

G                       Em
but were just another borderline case,

C                                    D
and the stars reach down and tell us,  theres always one escape,   oooh

VERSE 4

G           Dadd9/F#            Em
oh, I dont know where love has gone,

C                Em                      C                  D
    and in this troubled land,      desperation keeps us strong,

G                            Em
    Fridays child is full of soul,

C                 Em                       C             D
    with nothing left to lose,      theres everything to go,

CHORUS

C                  D              G       Dadd9/F#    Em
    And now I know what they're saying,  its a terrible beauty weve made,

C                Am7               D                G
    so we make our love on wasteland,    and through the barricades,

C                  D             Em        D       C
    now I know what they're saying,     as hearts go on to they're graves,

Am7   C                       D
    we made our love on wasteland,               and through,

Fadd9  F  Fadd9 F  Cadd9 C Cadd9  C
the barricades,
          Fadd9  F  Fadd9 F  Cadd9 C Cadd9  C (REPEAT AS SONG FADES OUT)
