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 I’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 there’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 Friday’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.
