Spandau Ballet, Through the Barricades (1986)
Key: :[G] (w: Gary Kemp)
VERSE 1:
[G] Mother doesn't
[Emadd9] know where love has
[Bm7] gone.
[Cadd9] She says it
[Emadd9] must be youth, that
[Fadd9] keeps us feelin'
[Cadd9] strong
[G] See it in her
[Emadd9] face that's turned to
[Bm7] ice.
[Cadd9] and when she
[Emadd9] smiles, she shows the
[Cadd9] lines of sacri-
[D]-fice
CHORUS 1:
And now I
[C] know, what they're
[D] saying, as our
[G] sun be-
[G/F#]-gins to
[Em] fade,
And we
[C] made our love on
[Am7] wasteland, and
[D] through the
[G] barricades
VERSE 2:
Father made my history, He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free,
They taught me what to say in school, I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
CHORUS 2:
And now I know, what they're saying, In the music of the parade,
And we made our love on wasteland, And through the barricades
[Guitar Solo]
VERSE 3:
Born on different sides of life, But we feel the same, and feel all of this strife,
So come to me when I'm asleep, And we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets
CHORUS 3:
And now I know, what they're saying, As the drums begin to fade,
And we made our love on wasteland, And through the barricades
[G pause]
BRIDGE:
[F] Oh
[C] turn around and I'll
[G] be there, well there's a
[F] scar right through my
[C] heart, but I'll bare it
[G] again.
Oh, I
[F] thought we were the human
[C] race, but we were
[G] just another border-line
[Em7] case.
And the
[Am7] stars reach down and tell us, that there's
[C] always one
[D] escape
Oh
[G] I don't
[D] know where love has
[Em] gone,
[C] and in this troubled
[G] land, despe-
[C]-ration keeps us
[D] strong
[G] Friday's child is
[D] full of
[Em] soul,
[C] With nothing
[G] left to lose, there's
[C] everything to
[D] go
CHORUS 4:
And now I know, what they're saying, it's a terrible beauty we've made,
So we make our love on wasteland, and through the barricades
CHORUS 5:
And now I know, what they're saying, as our hearts go to their graves,
And we made our love on wasteland, and through the barricades
