Checkpoint Charlie Lyrics & Tabs by Sailor

Checkpoint Charlie

guitar chords lyrics

Sailor

Over the concrete border, there's a girl who knows my name
And only Checkpoint Charlie has the way for us to meet again
We thought we knew what all the fighting years were for

But that was long ago - before the cold war
She waits yet another day, with dreams like my own
For a chance to be back with me - home
(Chorus):
'Checkpoint Charlie', open up your gates for me
Let me set my baby free, 'Checkpoint Charlie'
'Checkpoint Charlie', won't you let her back to me?
Home is where she needs to be, 'Checkpoint Charlie'
'Checkpoint Charlie'
Letters they string together with the memories of home
Of lovers who need each other
But the rules of men have hearts of stone

Letters they string together with the memories of home
Of lovers who need each other
But the rules of men have hearts of stone
We'd always talk about our dreams as I recall
But that was long ago - before they built the wall
Over the concrete border
She waits yet another day, with dreams like my own
For a chance to be back with me - home
(Repeat chorus)
