Cm On the day the wall came down They threw the locks onto the ground G# And with glasses high we raised G a cry for freedom had arrived Cm On the day the wall came down The Ship of Fools had finally run aground G# G Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight Chorus: F I dreamed you had left my side C F C No warmth, not even pride remained F And even though you needed me It was clear that C G I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day As friends and neighbors turn away And there’s a change that even with regret Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey Chorus: I woke to the sound of drums The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  Cm  F  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
