Concrete and Barbed Wire - Lucinda Williams
G C G
This wall divides us, on two different sides
C G
But this wall is not real
C G
How can it be real
D G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Chorus:
C G
Concrete and barbed wire
C G
Concrete and barbed wire
D G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
G C G
Back in Algiers my darling broke my heart
D
But he can't seem to break down this wall
G C G
With two strong hands he couldn't move it at all
D G
And it's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Chorus:
C G
Concrete and barbed wire
C G
Concrete and barbed wire
D G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
G C G
Down in Opelousas dogs are at the gate
D
And they're mean lord they're mean
G C G
There's a wall between us, but it's not what it seems
D G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Chorus:
C G
Concrete and barbed wire
C G
Concrete and barbed wire
D G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
G C G
Somewhere in Louisiana, my sugar's doing time
D
But he can't spend time with me
G C G
If he could get over, this wall he'd see
D G
That it's only made of concrete and barbed wire
Chorus: X 2
C G
Concrete and barbed wire
C G
Concrete and barbed wire
D G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
