Verse
A#m D#m A#m
I followed you over the border down to the Spree
A#m D#m G# C#
You were standing alone by the water waiting for me
A#m D#m F A#m
We wandered along by the river, the towers all shrouded in haze
D#m A#m
& we kissed by the wire and they all held their fire
F A#m
In the good old bad old days
G# C#
Just remember how lovely it couldn’t have been
F# C#
When the world was as closed as a door
D#m A#m
I remember those nights down in old east Berlin
F F7
With the microphones listening under the floor
G# C#
And every stamp in this passport of mine
F# C#
Was a record of kisses you gave
D#m A#m
Yes we suffered in style and its all in the file
F A#m
In the good old bad old days
[Chorus]
A#m
Yai dei dei, dei dei dei, dei dei dei da dei dei
D#m A#m
Ya dei da dei dei dei dei
D#m A#m
Ya dei dei dei,ya dei da dei
F A#m
Ya da dei dei dei dei dei
[Verse 2]
A#m D#m A#m
All the streetlights were waltzing together, crimson & green
A#m D#m G# C#
& your dress was as gray as the weather, oh what a dream
A#m D#m F A#m
We built up a city of whispers and classified war dossiers
D#m A#m
I gave you control of my papers and soul
F A#m
In the good old bad old days
G# C#
Ah yes wasn’t it miserable, wasn’t it grand?
F# C#
When the world had an iron divide
D#m A#m
And people could take a political stand
F F7
Just by singing a song for the opposite side
G# C# F# C#
Now nobody cares who you are anymore and nobody cares what you say
D#m A#m
Its libertys curse, but was it really much worse
F A#m
In the good old bad old days?
[Chorus]
A#m
Yai dei dei, dei dei dei, dei dei dei da dei dei
D#m A#m
Ya dei da dei dei dei dei
D#m A#m
Ya dei dei dei,ya dei da dei
F A#m
Ya da dei dei dei dei dei
[Verse 3]
A#m D#m A#m
Now Alyosha is gathering flowers every May
A#m D#m G# C#
& the statue of Marx by the tower faces away
A#m D#m F A#m
By the wall is a souvenir table with hammers & sickles displayed
D#m A#m
On new watches, that work, and they-re sold by a Turk
F A#m
In these good old bad new days
G# C#
Now I’m working for Euros and drinking alone
F# C#
Where we used to spend marks at the bar
D#m A#m
And the weeds have grown over the border of stone
F F7
That cuts through the town like a surgical scar
G# C#
And so many streets on this faded old map
F# C#
Are like names written over a grave
D#m A#m
It all makes me so mad cause it wasnt that bad
F A#m
In the good old bad old days
[Outro]
A#m D#m A#m
So dont look for a final solution here in Berlin
A#m D#m G# C#
For capitalist prostitution comes from within
A#m D#m F A#m
Don’t worry about revolution we’ll just keep the aesthetic cliches
D#m A#m
In this market of fleas, selling klezmer CDs
F A#m
For the good old bad old days
G# C#
So genossen, tavarishi, let’s make a toast
F# C#
To the time when the state knew your name
D#m A#m
And we-ll all say -lchaim-, -na zdrovye- und -Prost-
F F7
To that braver old world where we all are the same
G# C#
Where nobody loses & everyone wins
F# C#
Just as long as each comrade obeys
D#m A#m
But thats all in the past so lets raise up a glass
F A#m
To the good old bad old days
