  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.
[Refrain]
          C                D            G             Em 
And now I know what they sayin' as the sun begins to fade. 
        C                Am    C         D               G 
And we made our love on waste land and through the barricades.

Father made my history, he fought for what he thought would 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.
[Refrain]
          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.
[Strophe]
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.
[Refrain]
          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.

F   C                    G                       F 
Oh, turn around and I'll be there. Oh, there's a scar right 
           C                       G           F 
through my heart but I'll bear it again. Oh, I thought we were 
          C                 G                      Em 
the human race but we were just another borderline case. And 
     C                                                    D 
the stars reached out and tell us there's always one escape.
[Strophe]
G           D/F#                 Em C            Em 
Oh, I don't know when love was gone. But in this troubled land 
     C                D     G          D/F#           Em 
desperation keeps us strong. Friday's child so full of soul 
C             Em                   C             D 
 with nothing left to lose there's everything to go.
[Refrain]
           C               D           G                     Em 
And now I know what they sayin' it's a terrible beauty we've made. 
       C               Am    C         D                 G 
We made our love on waste-land and through the barricades. 
           C               D           Em         D         C 
And now I know what they sayin' as our hearts go to their graves. 
         C              Am    C           D                 G 
And we made our love on waste land oh and through the barricades.
