Verse
G#m C#m G#m
I followed you over the border down to the Spree
G#m C#m F# B
You were standing alone by the water waiting for me
G#m C#m D# G#m
We wandered along by the river, the towers all shrouded in haze
C#m G#m
& we kissed by the wire and they all held their fire
D# G#m
In the good old bad old days
F# B
Just remember how lovely it couldn’t have been
E B
When the world was as closed as a door
C#m G#m
I remember those nights down in old east Berlin
D# D#7
With the microphones listening under the floor
F# B
And every stamp in this passport of mine
E B
Was a record of kisses you gave
C#m G#m
Yes we suffered in style and its all in the file
D# G#m
In the good old bad old days
[Chorus]
G#m
Yai dei dei, dei dei dei, dei dei dei da dei dei
C#m G#m
Ya dei da dei dei dei dei
C#m G#m
Ya dei dei dei,ya dei da dei
D# G#m
Ya da dei dei dei dei dei
[Verse 2]
G#m C#m G#m
All the streetlights were waltzing together, crimson & green
G#m C#m F# B
& your dress was as gray as the weather, oh what a dream
G#m C#m D# G#m
We built up a city of whispers and classified war dossiers
C#m G#m
I gave you control of my papers and soul
D# G#m
In the good old bad old days
F# B
Ah yes wasn’t it miserable, wasn’t it grand?
E B
When the world had an iron divide
C#m G#m
And people could take a political stand
D# D#7
Just by singing a song for the opposite side
F# B E B
Now nobody cares who you are anymore and nobody cares what you say
C#m G#m
Its libertys curse, but was it really much worse
D# G#m
In the good old bad old days?
[Chorus]
G#m
Yai dei dei, dei dei dei, dei dei dei da dei dei
C#m G#m
Ya dei da dei dei dei dei
C#m G#m
Ya dei dei dei,ya dei da dei
D# G#m
Ya da dei dei dei dei dei
[Verse 3]
G#m C#m G#m
Now Alyosha is gathering flowers every May
G#m C#m F# B
& the statue of Marx by the tower faces away
G#m C#m D# G#m
By the wall is a souvenir table with hammers & sickles displayed
C#m G#m
On new watches, that work, and they-re sold by a Turk
D# G#m
In these good old bad new days
F# B
Now I’m working for Euros and drinking alone
E B
Where we used to spend marks at the bar
C#m G#m
And the weeds have grown over the border of stone
D# D#7
That cuts through the town like a surgical scar
F# B
And so many streets on this faded old map
E B
Are like names written over a grave
C#m G#m
It all makes me so mad cause it wasnt that bad
D# G#m
In the good old bad old days
[Outro]
G#m C#m G#m
So dont look for a final solution here in Berlin
G#m C#m F# B
For capitalist prostitution comes from within
G#m C#m D# G#m
Don’t worry about revolution we’ll just keep the aesthetic cliches
C#m G#m
In this market of fleas, selling klezmer CDs
D# G#m
For the good old bad old days
F# B
So genossen, tavarishi, let’s make a toast
E B
To the time when the state knew your name
C#m G#m
And we-ll all say -lchaim-, -na zdrovye- und -Prost-
D# D#7
To that braver old world where we all are the same
F# B
Where nobody loses & everyone wins
E B
Just as long as each comrade obeys
C#m G#m
But thats all in the past so lets raise up a glass
D# G#m
To the good old bad old days
