Thank you very much indeed.
We hope you've all enjoyed yourselves very much
on this 26th anniversary of solidarity
which has changed the world.
We've got time for just a couple more songs.
This is called A Great Day for Freedom.
[C]
On [Cm] the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
[Ab] And with glasses high we raised a cry
[G] For freedom had arrived
[Cm] On the [Ab] day the wall [Cm] came down
This ship of [Ab] fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night
[G] Paper doves in flight
I [F] dreamed you had left my side
No walls, not even pride, [C] remained
Even [F] [C]
[F] though you needed me
It was clear that I couldn't do a [C] thing for you
Now [G]
[C] [Cm] life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
[Ab] There's a [D] change that even with [Ab] regret
[G] Cannot be undone
[Cm] Now frontiers shift [Ab] like desert sands
[Cm] While nations [Fm] wash their bloodied hands
[Ab] Of loyalty and history
[G] In shades of grey
I [F] woke to the sound of drums
Music played, the morning sun [C] Sleeping
I [F] [C]
[F] turned and I looked at [G] you
[F] And all thought the bitter religion
[C] Slipped away, [G] slipped away
