TEAR DOWN THE WALLS
By: Fred Neil
Judy Collins
Key: D

-6*   -6*  6  -5 -4
Tear down the walls, 
-5  -5  -5  -4  -3   -3  -4  -5
Lis-ten to free-dom sing-in’ out,
-6*   -6*  6  -5 -4
Tear down the walls, 
-5    -5   -5  -5    -8    -7    -7  -8  -7
can't you hear the church bells ring-in’ out,
-8-7 -8  -7 -6*6-5-5  -5
Give ev-‘ry  man the chance 
-5  -5  -5   -8    -7   -7   
to take his broth-er's hand,
-8    -8  -7   -6*    -7  -6*   8*  -8
Tear down the walls, tear down the walls.

chorus:

-7*-7* -6*   -8 -6*  -6*
The mu-sic's ev-‘ry-where, 
7*   -6* 6  -7  6   6
Where ev-er man is free,
-7*-7*  -6*  -8 -6* -6*
The mu-sic's in the air 
7*      7*  -6*   6  -7 -7  -7  6
that lights the road to lib-er-ty.



Tear down the walls, 
one world in har-mony,
Tear down the walls, can't you hear the melody?
Hear every man sing it over the land.
Tear down the walls, tear down the walls.

Tear down the walls, 
listen to freedom ringing out.
Tear down the walls, 
can't you hear the church bells singing out?
Let every man sing it over the land,
Tear down the walls, tear down the walls.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
