G Em Bm7 C Em
Mother doesn't know where love is gone, she say's it must be
F C G Em
youth that keeps the feeling strong. I see it in her face
Bm7 C Em F
that's turn to ice, and when she smiles she shows the lines
D
of sacrifice.
C D G G-1 Em
And now I know what they sayin' as our sun begins to fade.
C Am C D G
And we made our love on waste land and through the barricades
G Em Bm7 C Em F
Father made my history, he fought for what he thought would set
C G Em Bm7 C
us somehow free. He taught me what to say in school, I learned
Em F D
it off by heart but now that's torn in two.
C D G G-1 Em
And now I know what they sayin' in the music of the parade.
C Am C D G
And we made our love on waste land and through the barricades.
G Em Bm7 C Em F
Born on different sides of life, we fear the same and feel
C G Em Bm7 C Em
all of this strife. So come to me when I'm asleep, we'll cross
F D
the lines and dance upon the streets.
C D G Em
And now I know what they sayin' as the drums begins to fade.
C Am C D G
And we made our love on waste land and through the barricades.
F C G F
Oh turn around and I'll be there. There's a scar right
C G F
through my heart but IÂ’ll bear it again. Oh I thought we were
C G D Em
the human race but we were just another borderline case. And
C D
the stars reach down and tell us thereÂ’s always one escape.
G Em Bm7 C Em
Oh I don't know when love was gone. But in this troubled land
C D G Em Bm7
desperation keeps us strong. As FridayÂ’s child is through the soul.
C Em C D
with nothing left to loose there's everything to go.
C D G D
And now I know what they sayin' it's a terrible beauty we've
Em C Am C D G
made. So we made our love on waste land and through the barricades.
C D G
And now I know what they sayin' as our hearts go to their
Em C Am C D
graves. And we made our love on waste land and through the
G
barricades.
