Chords

[Chords] I would recommend to play the F chord this way as it makes it much easier, as you can simply switch from F to C with your middle and your ring finger.

[Intro] C F C F C G (x2) [Verse]

         C  (let ring)                 C F C
Well I lost my baby to a foreign war

              C (let ring)                                  C F C
Then she was cut down in the gunfire of the Western world

(palm mute)

           F       C          G
She was living in sin, I was living in a lie

           F              C            G
She was caught up in the glimmer of a rich man's eye

F           C                G
I couldn't see it from the other side

           F     C             G
They said "Son, There's no glory in your pride"

[Chorus]

    C (let ring)         F           C            F           C        G
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (x2)

  G    C  F  C  F  C  G (x2)
I'll wait

[Verse 2]

        C (let ring)                 C F C
Well I lost my baby to a foreign war

              C (let ring)                                 C F C
Then she was cut down in the gunfire of the Western world

               F                C              G
Yeah, she was searching for salvation in the things you buy

         F               C               G
She was finding all the reasons to give up on life

        F                    C       G
If you love something then give it away

       F                  C           G  N.C.
No, I can't come back unless you are free

[Chorus 2]

    C (let ring)         F           C            F           C        G
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (x2)

          F         C/B         G
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait

[Interlude]

 F         C      G      C     F        C        G         
Somewhere in the in-between, where the East and the West meet

      F          C        G        C      F             C        G (palm mute, then get louder)
The thirty-year war where I came clean, that's where you'll find me

G (palm mute, then get louder) I'll wait

      C  F  C  F  C  G (x2)
I'll wait

[Chorus 2]

    C (let ring)         F           C            F           C        G
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (x2)

          F         C/B         G
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait

[Outro]
