[G] [Em]
[Bm] [A] [Em]
[G] [C] [Cm]
[D] [G]
[Bm] Mother doesn't know where love has gone She [C]
[Em] says it must be [F] youth that keeps us [C] feeling
strong [G] I [Bm] see a little face that's turned to ice
[C] [Em] And when she smiles she shows the lines of [D] sacrifice
And [C] now I know [G] what they're saying As our sun [Em] begins to fade
[C] When we made our [Am] love on wasteland [D] And through the [G] barricades
[Em] Father made my [Bm] history [C] Fought [Em]
for what he thought [F] would set us [C] somehow free
[G] He [Em] taught me what to [Bm] say in school I [C]
[Em] learned it off by heart but now that's
[D] time to work And [C] now I know [D] what they're saying
[G] In the music [Em] of the parade When [C] we made our [A] love on wasteland
And [D] through the [Am] [G] barricades [C]
[G]
[Em] Fall on different [Bm] sides of life
[C] [Em] We feel the [D] same and feel all of their strife [G] So [Em] come to me when [Bm] I'm asleep
[C] And [Em] we'll cross the [C] lines and dance upon [D] the streets
And now [C] I know [D] what they're saying As the drums begin [Em] to fade
[C] When we made our love [A] on wasteland [D] And through the [G]
barricades
[F] Oh, [C] turn around, [G] be there With [F] the sky [C] [G] again
[F] Oh, I thought we were the [C] human race But we were just another [Em] borderline case
[G] And the stars reach down and tell us [D] There's always one escape
Oh, [G]
[Em] love is gone But [C] in [Em] this troubled land
[C] Desperation keeps [D] us strong [G] While pride is childish [Em] but it's so wrong
[C] With [Em] nothing left to lose [C] There's everything [D] to go
And now [C] I know [D] what they're saying [G] It's a terrible beauty [Em] we've made
[C] We made our love [A] on wasteland [D] And through the [G] barricades
And now [C] I know [D] what they're saying [Em] As our hearts go [C] to their graves
When we made our love [Am] on [C] wasteland And [D] through the [F] barricades
