The Barricades Of Heaven

INTROO : Em, C, G, D (TWICE) 
 
Em        C              G               D 
  Running down along the towns along the shore 
Em           C                 G         D 
  When I was sixteen and on my own 
Em              C                 G                      D 
  No I couldn't tell you what the hell those breaks were for 
Em           C                 G           D 
  I was just trying to hear my song 
 
Em, C, G, D (TWICE) 
 
Em                C                       G             D 
  Jimmy found his own sweet sound when he won that free guitar 
Em             C                   G            D 
  And we'd all get in the van and play 
Em                C            G                  D 
  Life became the Paradox, the Bell, the Rouge et noir 
Em                   C               G            D 
  And the stretch of road running to L.A. 
 
        Em            C 
BRIDGE :  Pages turning 
        G               D 
          Pages we were years from learning 
        Em                  C                     G       D 
          Straight into the night our hearts were flung 
 
(PLAY REGULAR "C" and "D" for chorus) 
 
                 C                G       D           C     D 
CHORUS :  Better bring your own redemtion when you come 
                 C                G    D         C 
          To the barricades of heaven where I'm from 
 
Em, C, G, D (Twice) 
 
Em  C               G                  D 
  All the world was shining from those hills 
Em                C                    G        D 
  With the stars above and the lights below 
Em              C                   G               D 
  Among those there to test their fortune and their will 
Em       C                       G         D 
  I lost track of the score long ago 
 
 
BRIDGE, CHORUS 
 
Em         F          C/E 
  Childhood comes for me at night 
Em           F       C/E 
  The voices of my friends 
Em           F      C/E 
  Your face bathing me in light 
Em            F      C/E 
  I hope that never ends 
 
Em, C, G, D (TWICE) 
 
Em        C 
  Pages turning 
  G                D 
  Pages torn and pages burning 
Em             C           G        D 
  Faded pages open in the sun 
 
Chorus (TWICE) 
 
Em, C, G, D (FADE)
