A Great Day For Freedom
Ton : GEnglish
CmOn the day the walC(dim)l came down, thCmey threw the lockC(dim)s on to the ground
Fm/AbAnd with glasses high we raised a cry for fG(sus4)reedom had arrived G
And on the day the wall came down
The ship of fools had finally run aground.
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight.
Refrain
I dreaFmed you haG/Fd left my Fside. No warmth not even G/Fpride Fremained--F/C C
F/C And eveFn though you G/Fneeded mFe, it was clear that I couG/Fld not F
do a thF/Cing foCr you. C G/C G/B
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away.
And there's a change that even with regret can not be undone.
Now frontiers shift like desert sands,
as nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey.
Refrain
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 residue slipped away,
slipped away.
