[Chords]
I would recommend to play the F chord this way as it makes it much easier, as you can simply switch from
F to C with your middle and your ring finger.

[Intro]
C  F  C  F  C  G (x2)
 
[Verse]
         C  (let ring)                 C F C
Well I lost my baby to a foreign war
              C (let ring)                                  C F C
Then she was cut down in the gunfire of the Western world
(palm mute)
           F       C          G
She was living in sin, I was living in a lie
           F              C            G
She was caught up in the glimmer of a rich man's eye
F           C                G
I couldn't see it from the other side
           F     C             G
They said "Son, There's no glory in your pride"
 
[Chorus]
    C (let ring)         F           C            F           C        G
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (x2)
  G    C  F  C  F  C  G (x2)
I'll wait
 
[Verse 2]
        C (let ring)                 C F C
Well I lost my baby to a foreign war
              C (let ring)                                 C F C
Then she was cut down in the gunfire of the Western world
               F                C              G
Yeah, she was searching for salvation in the things you buy
         F               C               G
She was finding all the reasons to give up on life
        F                    C       G
If you love something then give it away
       F                  C           G  N.C.
No, I can't come back unless you are free
 
[Chorus 2]
    C (let ring)         F           C            F           C        G
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (x2)
          F         C/B         G
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
 
[Interlude]
 F         C      G      C     F        C        G
Somewhere in the in-between, where the East and the West meet
      F          C        G        C      F             C        G (palm mute, then get louder)
The thirty-year war where I came clean, that's where you'll find me
      G (palm mute, then get louder)
I'll wait
      C  F  C  F  C  G (x2)
I'll wait
 
[Chorus 2]
    C (let ring)         F           C            F           C        G
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (x2)
          F         C/B         G
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
 
[Outro]
          C (let ring)                  C F C
Well, I lost my baby to a foreign war...

Great tab! You dont need to tune the guitar half step down, if you put a capo in 4th fret and transpose this tab -5. Sounds exactly like the version justin and #2 play on "house of strobo" then.
