CHORDS



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           F           G/F    F                        G/F     F
              And even though you needed me, it was clear that I could not
      F  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
