N.C.
On August 13th, 1961
A wall was erected
Down the middle of the city of Berlin
N.C.
The world was divided by a cold war
And the Berlin wall
Was the most hated symbol of that divide
N.C.
Reviled, graffitied, spit upon
We thought the wall would stand forever.
And now that it's gone
N.C.
We don't know who we are anymore
Ladies and gentlemen
Hedwig is like that wall
N.C.
Standing before you in the divide
Between east and west
Slavery and freedom
N.C.
Man and woman, top and bottom
And you can try and tear her down
But before you do
N.C.
You must remember one thing
[Verse]
C7 F7 Hey, there ain't much of a difference Bb7 C7 Between a bridge and a wall C7 F7 Without me right in the middle, babe Bb7 C7 You would be nothin' at all
[Chorus]
C7 F7 Enemies and adversaries Bb7 C7 They try and tear me down C7 F7 You want me baby, I dare you Bb7 C7 Try and tear me down C7 F7 Enemies and adversaries Bb7 C7 They try and tear me down C7 F7 You want me baby, I dare you Bb7 C7 Try and tear me down
[ending]
F From east Berlin to junction city Eb Hello New York hello Missouri F What you try and tear me down? Eb Come on and tear, come on and tear me down
