[B] [E]
Call me a deserter, it's true I [B] walked [E] away
Travelling by starlight, hiding out by day
Dogs indeed my patients, kept me on the run
[A] I got a [B] little [E] blinded, staring at the sun
Walking round in circles, holding up the sky
[A] [E] Pulling among thieves, laughing till I cry
Voices red with anger, [B] burning in my [A] ears
[E] This is Bedlam calling, roaring down the years
There's no safe house in Birmingham and I found a peace in Skye
The green fields of Derry were just another lie
Wrap the barbed wire around me, you say I [B] don't [E] belong
You keep me [B] till I [E] couldn't move and tell me to move on
For when these walls fall down
And [C#m] when this [A] world turns [B] round
[C#m] Between you and my peace, [A] you and my peace
You [E] hear what the deserter [B] said
[C#m] And when these walls [A] [E] fall down
[C#m] And when this [A] world [B] turns round
[C#m] Everybody [A] is in the middle
[E] And nobody's [F#m] on [B] the end
[E] Spider

springs his heart out, fox goes [B] home [A] alone
Wisdom [B] lies away from [E] me, a snake beneath the stone
Shelter is in silence, or in a stony place
[A] I will [B] not share your pity, [E] your loss and your disgrace
For when these [A] walls fall [E] down
And when this [A] world turns [B] round
[C#m] Between you and my peace, [A] you and my peace
[E] You hear what the deserter [B] said
[C#m] And when these [Am] walls [E] fall down
And [C#m] when this [A] world [B] turns round
[C#m] Everybody is [A] in the middle
And [E] nobody's on the [B] end
[C#m] And when [A] these walls fall [E] down
[C#m] And when this [A] world [B] turns round
Between [C#m] you and my peace, you [A] and my peace
[E] You hear what the deserter [B]

And when these [A] walls [E] fall down
