Key: G
Introduction: G Em Bm Bm7 C Em F C Cm 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 G Em
And now I know what they're sayin' as our sun begins to fade
C Am C D G
And we made our love on wasteland 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 G Em
And now I know what they're sayin' in the music of the parade
C Am C D F
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
G Em Bm7
Born on different sides of life
C Em F C
We fear the same and feel all of this strife
G Em Bm7
So come to me when I'm asleep (asleep)
C Em F D
We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets
C D G Em
And now I know what they're sayin' as the drums begin to fade
C Am C D G
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
F C G
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
F C G
Oh, there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bear 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
there's always one escape
G D/F# Em
Oh, I don't know where love has gone
C Em C D
But in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
G D/F# Em
Friday's child is full of soul
C Em C D
With nothing left to lose there's everything to go
C D G Em
Now I know what they're sayin', it's a terrible beauty we've made
C Am C D G
So we make our love on wasteland and through the barricades
C D Em D C
And now I know what they're sayin' as our hearts go to their graves
C Am C D F
And we made our love on wasteland, oh and through the barricades
F C
(fade out)
