[Verse 1]
E A
What'cha gonna do when the wall comes down

When the wall comes down

What you oughta do is let it lie

And in the gathering darkness vow

To never go back

It was built by man and you can tear it down
E
Tear it down

Ahh, step back, Jack, from the darkness

What'cha gonna do when the shackles fall

When the shackles fall

What you oughta do is melt them down

Melt them down
E A
Turn them into tools and make a garden
E
On the prison grounds
E A
Turn your chains to roses, child
E
Tear it down
D A
Tear it down

Ahh, step back, Jack, from the darkness

But while I'm here

I'm gonna sing just like a songbird

A
What'cha gonna do when the hunger's gone
E
When the hunger's gone
E A
Yes, pity the child who goes without
E
Goes without
E A
Give him no reason to falter
E
On his way down
E A
It's a beautiful world but painful, child
E
Tear it down
D A
Tear it down
A E
Ahh, step back, Jack, from the darkness
D A
But while I'm here
A E
I'm gonna sing just like a songbird
[Outro]
