Liberation

Am  F  Am  F  Am

[Verse 1]
He saw them coming through the 
F             Am
Berlin Wall
                            F      
And there were tears in his eyes
Am

He'd never thought he'd see that 
G              F
concrete fall
                               E7  
He felt their joy and their 
    Am
surprise
                             F     
He saw them walking past the border
         Am
 guard
                            F      
He saw them wonder at their gain
Am

                             G     
But deep inside he knew that every 
       F
yard
                            E7
They walked towards another pain
                  Am    F  Am  F  Am
That needed liberation


[Verse 2]
                          F        
He saw them in the Ku Dam shop and 
        Am
store
                            F      
With freedom money in their hands
 Am

Soon it was gone but still they 
G             F
wanted more
                            E7     
To take back to their Motherland
Am

                          F      
He saw her move towards a pair of 
         Am
jeans
                          F     Am
He saw him move towards a bar
                            G      
But as they neither of them had the
         F
 means
He knew they'd travelled much too 
E7
far
                Am    F  Am  F  G
Away from liberation


[Verse 3]
He'd been on the treadmill every day
  F

                              G
He'd been the model employee
He'd built the miracle, but now he'd
      F
 say
                               Bm
Where is the miracle for me?
He owed the bank, he owed the corner
        C
 store
He owed the college, owed the town
D

Since shaking hands they'd showed 
                 G
him to the door
And then they'd closed his office 
E7    Am  F  Am  F  Am
down


[Verse 4]
He saw them coming through the 
F             Am
Berlin Wall
                            F      
And there were tears in his eyes
Am

He'd never thought he'd see that 
G              F
concrete fall
                               E7  
He felt their joy and their 
    Am
surprise
But as they came to roll those 
F             Am
stones away
With all their hopes and all their 
F        Am
dreams
                             G     
He knew that day was not the time 
        F
to say
                         E7
Freedom is never what it seems
                  Am    F  Am
We all need liberation
