[Verse 1]
CmOn the day the wallAb/C came down
They Cmthrew the locks onAb/Cto the ground
And with Fm6glasses as high we raised a cry for Gsus4freedom had arrived G
CmOn the day the wallAb/C came down
The CmShip of Fools had Ab/Cfinally run aground
Fm6Promises lit up the night like Gsus4paper doves in Gflight
[Chorus]
I Fdreamed you Ghad left Fmy side
No warmth Gnot eFven pride remained C
F C And Feven though Gyou needFed me
It was clear that GI could Fnot do a thing for Cyou
[Verse 2]
C9 Now Cmlife devalues dayAb/C by day
As Cmfriends and neighbours Ab/Cturn away
And there's a Fm6change that, even with regret, Gsus4cannot be unGdone
Now Cmfrontiers shift like deAb/Csert sands
While Cmnations wash their Ab/Cblooded hands
Of Fm6loyalty, of history, in Gsus4shades of gray
[Chorus]
G I Fwoke to Gthe sound Fof drums
The music played, Gthe mornFing sun streamed in C
F C I Fturned and GI looked Fat you
And all but the bitGted resiFdue slipped aCway slipped aC9way
