"Through The Barricades"

Simple intro (not original): G Em Bm7 C  D



G                   Em                  Bm7
     Mother doesn't know where love has gone
C                Em                 F                C
     She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong

G                    Em                    Bm7
     I see it in her face that's turned to ice
C                 Em                   F              D
     And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice



          C                 D
And now I know what they're saying
       G             Em
As our sun begins to fade

       C                Am   C
And we made our love on wasteland
    D                G
And through the barricades




G           Em           Bm7
     Father made my history
C                  Em                    F              C
     He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free

G              Em                Bm7
     He taught me what to say in school
C                 Em               F                  D
     I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two

     
     
          C                 D
And now I know what they're saying
       G               Em
In the music of the parade

       C                Am   C
And we made our love on wasteland
    D                G
And through the barricades



G              Em               Bm7
     Born on different sides of life
C           Em                F                C
     But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
     
G               Em            Bm7
     So come to me when I'm asleep
C              Em                 F              D
     And we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets

     
     
          C                 D
And now I know what they're saying
       G              Em
As the drums begin to fade

       C                Am   C
And we made our love on wasteland
    D                G
And through the barricades



F    F   C                    G
     Oh, turn around and I'll be there
               F                     C                        G
Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again

      F                         C
Oh, I thought we were the human race
            G                       Em            
But we were just another borderline case

        C
And the stars reach down and tell us
                           D
That there's always one escape



    G              Em                  Bm7
Oooooh,    I don't know where love has gone
C                Em                  C                D 
     And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
     
G             Em               Bm7
     Friday's child is full of soul
C                 Em                    C             D 
     With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go

     
     
          C                 D
And now I know what they're saying
       G                     Em
It's a terrible beauty we've made

      C                Am   C
So we make our love on wasteland
    D                G
And through the barricades



          C                 D
And now I know what they're saying
       G                  Em
As our hearts go to their graves

       C                Am   C
And we made our love on wasteland
    D                G
And through the barricades
