SONG: When the Wall Comes Down ARTIST: Hiss Golden Messenger TAB BY: dr_pointsman ([email protected])
CAPO: None
[Verse 1] EA What'cha gonna do when the wall comes down E When the wall comes down EA What you oughta do is let it lie E Let it lie EA And in the gathering darkness vow E To never go back A It was built by man and you can tear it down E Tear it down DA Tear it down AE Ahh, step back, Jack, from the darkness EA What'cha gonna do when the shackles fall E When the shackles fall EA What you oughta do is melt them down E Melt them down EA Turn them into tools and make a garden E On the prison grounds EA Turn your chains to roses, child E Tear it down DA Tear it down AE Ahh, step back, Jack, from the darkness DA But while I'm here AE I'm gonna sing just like a songbird
[Instrumental] EAEAEAEAE
[Verse 2] A What'cha gonna do when the hunger's gone E When the hunger's gone EA Yes, pity the child who goes without E Goes without EA Give him no reason to falter E On his way down EA It's a beautiful world but painful, child E Tear it down DA Tear it down AE Ahh, step back, Jack, from the darkness DA But while I'm here AE I'm gonna sing just like a songbird
