[intro]

     G      G                  C             G
This wall divides us, we're on two different sides
         C           G         C         G
But this wall is not real; how can it be real?
     G               D                G    G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

   C                G        C                G
Concrete and barbed wire, concrete and barbed wire
     G               D                G    G
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

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

Concrete and barbed wire, concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

C  G  C  G    G  D  G  G
[guitar solo]

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

Concrete and barbed wire, concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

C  G  C  G    G  D  G  G
[guitar solo]

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

Concrete and barbed wire, concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire, concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
