G Em Bm7 C Em Oh I don't know when love was gone. But in this troubled land C D G Em Bm7 desperation keeps us strong. As Friday’s child is through the soul. C Em C D with nothing left to loose there's everything to go. C D G D And now I know what they sayin' it's a terrible beauty we've Em C Am C D G made. So we made our love on waste land and through the barricades. C D G And now I know what they sayin' as our hearts go to their Em C Am C D graves. And we made our love on waste land and through the G barricades.
