Well, at least I changed them... :) The chords to the strummed part were left unchanged, everything else was replaced by TAB. (Last time I forgot to mention the chords were not my own) Thanks to Matthias Rohe ( rohe@uni-paderborn.de ) for his comments and suggestions! { Intro }

Intro End } Mother doesn't know where love has gone She says it must be youth that keeps this feeling strong I see it in her face that's turned to ice And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice And now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades Mother.. ...gone...

like you did before } 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 half by heart but now that's torn in two 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 { When you reach the double vertical mark, switch to the part below: }
