Great Day For Freedom Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Synth]
[Am]On the day the w[F]all came down
They [Am]threw the locks [F]onto the ground
And with [F]glasses high we raised a cry
For [E]freedom had [E]arrived
[Am]On the day the w[F]all came down
The [Am]Ship of Fools had [F]finally run aground
[F]Promises lit up the night
like [E]paper doves in [E]flight

[Pre-chorus 1]
I [D]dreamed you [E]had left [D]my side
No warmth [E]not e[D]ven pride [D]remained[A]
[D][A]
And [D]even though [E]you nee[D]ded me
It was clear that [E]I could n[D]ot do
a [D]thing for [A]you[E]

[Verse 2]
Now [Am]life devalues [F]day by day
As [Am]friends and neighbours [F]turn away
And there's a [F]change that, even with regret
[E]Cannot be un[E]done
Now [Am]frontiers shift like [F]desert sands
While [Am]nations wash their [F]bloodied hands
Of [F]loyalty, of history, in [E]shades of [E]gray

[Pre-chorus 2]
I [D]woke to [E]the sound [D]of drums
The music played, [E]the mor[D]ning sun
[D]streamed [A]in[D][A]
I [D]turned and [E]I looked a[D]t you
And all but the bit[E]ted resi[D]due [D]slipped [A]away
Slipped [A]away
