"Through The Barricades"
[Simple intro] (not original)
G Em Bm7 Cadd9 D
[Verse]
G Em Bm7
Mother doesn't know where love has gone
Cadd9 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
Cadd9 Em Cadd9 D
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
And now I know what they're saying
G D/F# Em
As our sun begins to fade
Cadd9 Am
And we made our love on wasteland
D G
And through the barricades
[Verse]
G Em Bm7
Father made my history
Cadd9 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
Cadd9 Em Cadd9 D
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
And now I know what they're saying
G Em
In the music of the parade
Cadd9 Am
And we made our love on wasteland
D Fmaj7 C G
And through the barricades
[Verse]
G Em Bm7
Born on different sides of life
Cadd9 Em F
But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
G Em Bm7
So come to me when I'm asleep
Cadd9 Em Cadd9 D
And we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
And now I know what they're saying
G D/F# Em
As the drums begin to fade
Cadd9 Am
And we made our love on wasteland
D G
And through the barricades
[Bridge]
F F Cadd9 G
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
F Cadd9 G
Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again
F Cadd9
Oh, I thought we were the human race
G Em
But we were just another borderline case
Cadd9
And the stars reach down and tell us
D
That there's always one escape
G D/F# Em7
Oooooh, I don't know where love has gone
Cadd9 Em Cadd9 D
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
G D/F# G/B
Friday's child is full of soul
Cadd9 Em Cadd9 D
With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
And now I know what they're saying
G D/F# Em
It's a terrible beauty we've made
Cadd9 Am
So we make our love on wasteland
D G
And through the barricades
Cadd9 D
And now I know what they're saying
Em D C
As our hearts go to their graves
Cadd9 Am C
And we made our love on wasteland
D F
And through the barricades
[Outro]
