Sol              Mim7                       Sim Sim7
Mother doesn't know where love has gone,
Do                      Mim7       Fa            Do 
she says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong.
Sol            Mim7                    Sim Sim7
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
Do                Mim                         Do          Re
and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice.
 
        Do          Re                 Sol  Re        Mim
And now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade
       Do                 Lam7 Do         Re              Sol
and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.
 
Sol      Mim7         Sim Sim7
Father made my history,
Do               Mim7            Fa                   Do 
he thought for what he thought  would set us somehow free.
Sol            Mim7                Sim Sim7
They taught me what to say in school
Do                Mim               Do          Re
I learned it off my heart but now that's torn in two.
 
         Do                 Re             Sol  Re        Mim
And now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade
       Do                Lam7 Do         Re              Sol
and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.
 
Sol         Mim7            Sim Sim7
Born on different sides of life,
Do            Mim7       Fa                Do 
we feel the same and feel all of this strife.
Sol       Mim7              Sim Sim7
So come to me when I'm asleep
Do            Mim                Do          Re
we'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets.
 
           Do           Re               Sol  Re        Mim
And now I know what they're saying as the drums begin to fade
        Do                Lam7 Do         Re             Sol
and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.
 
Fa Do                         Sol
Oh turn around and I'll be there,
          Fa                   Do
there's a scar right through my heart
                  Sol
but I'll bear it again.
     Fa                           Do
Oh I thought we were the human race
          Sol         Re          Mim
but we were just another borderline case
      Lam                                  Do           Re
and the stars reach down and tell us there's always one escape.
 
Sol         Re                    Mim
Oh I don't know where love has gone
Do          Mi              Do                      Re
and in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong.
Sol      Sim           Do
Fridays child is full of soul
Do             Mim                   Do            Re
with nothing left to lose there's everything to go.
 
           Do              Re                 Sol  Re        Mim
And now I know what they're saying it's a terrible beat we made
        Do                Lam7 Do         Re           Sol
and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.
 
          Do                Re            Sol  Re        Mim
And now I know what they're saying as our hearts go to their graves
        Do              Lam7 Do         Re           Sol       Fa7+        Do
and we made our love on wasteland and through  the barricades.
