Hedwig
[Intro]
C7
Don't you know me Kansas city
F
I'm the New Berlin wall
Bb              C
Try and tear me down
[Verse]
C7                      F7
I was born on the other side
 Bb7                C7
Of a town ripped in two
C7                      F7
I made it over the great divide
    Bb7              C7
Now I'm comin' for you
[Chorus]
C7                      F7
Enemies and adversaries
Bb7                    C7
They try and tear me down
C7                      F7
You want me baby, I dare you
Bb7                    C7
Try and tear me down
[Bridge]

[Verse]
C7                      F7
I rose from off of the doctor's slab
Bb7                    C7
Like Lazarus from the pit
C7                      F7
Now everyone wants to take a stab
Bb7                    C7
And decorate me with blood graffiti and spit
[Chorus]
C7              F7
Enemies and adversaries
Bb7                    C7
They try and tear me down
C7                      F7
You want me baby, I dare you
Bb7               C7
Try and tear me down

F     Bb     C
[Spoken part]
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]
C7                      F7
Hey, there ain't much of a difference
Bb7                    C7
Between a bridge and a wall
C7                      F7
Without me right in the middle, babe
Bb7                    C7
You would be nothin' at all
[Chorus]
C7                      F7
Enemies and adversaries
Bb7                    C7
They try and tear me down
C7                      F7
You want me baby, I dare you
Bb7                    C7
Try and tear me down
C7                      F7
Enemies and adversaries
Bb7                    C7
They try and tear me down
C7                      F7
You want me baby, I dare you
Bb7                    C7
Try and tear me down
ending
F
From east Berlin to junction city
Eb
Hello New York hello Missouri
F
What you try and tear me down?
Eb
Come on and tear, come on and tear me down
