[Verse]
G Em Bm7 C Em
Mother doesn't know where love has gone, she says it must be
F C G Em
youth that keeps us feeling strong. I see it in her face
Bm7 C Em F
that's turned to ice, and when she smiles she shows the lines
D
of sacrifice.
[Chorus]
C D G Em
And now I know what they sayin' there's a sun begins to fade.
C Am C D G
And we made our love on waste land and through the barricades
[Verse]
G Em Bm7 C Em F
Father made my history, he fought for what he thought but 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.
[Chorus]
C D G 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 barricade.
[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Bridge]
F C G F
Oh, turn around and I'll be there. Oh, there's a skylight
C G F
through my heart without barry the gate. Oh, I thought we were
C G Em
the human race but we were just another borderline case. And
C
the stars reached out and touch, but there's always one
D
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 C
desperation keeps us strong. The finest child is ruth so hard.
Em C D
with nothing left to lose there's everything to go.
[Chorus]
C D G
And now I know what they sayin' it's a terrible beauty we've
Em C Am C D G
made. So we make 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 oh and through the
G
barricades.
