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] C7Hey, there ain't much ofF7 a difference Bb7Between a bridge and a C7wall C7Without me right in the F7middle, babe Bb7You would be nothin' atC7 all
[Chorus]
C7Enemies and adversaries F7 Bb7They try and tear me doC7wn C7You want me baby, I dareF7 you Bb7Try and tear me down C7 C7Enemies and adversaries F7 Bb7They try and tear me doC7wn C7You want me baby, I dareF7 you Bb7Try and tear me down C7
[ending]
FFrom east Berlin to junction city EbHello New York hello Missouri FWhat you try and tear me down? EbCome on and tear, come on and tear me down
