Concrete And Barbed Wire

This wall divides us
C                 G
On two different sides
C                    G
But this wall is not real
C             G
How can it be real
                     D               G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
   C                G

Back in Algiers my darling broke my heart
                                     D
But he can't seem to break down this wall
G                                 C          G
With two strong hands he couldn't move it at all
                          D                G
And it's only made of concrete and barbed wire
   C                G

Down in Opelousas dogs are at the gate
                              D
And they're mean lord they're mean
         G                     C               G
There's a wall between us but it's not what is seems
                     D                G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Somewhere in Louisiana my sugar's doing time
                             D
But he can't spend time with me
      G                   C         G
It he could get over this wall he'd see
                           D               G
That it's only made of concrete and barbed wire
