Verse
Em Am Em
I followed you over the border down to the Spree
Em Am D G
You were standing alone by the water waiting for me
Em Am B Em
We wandered along by the river, the towers all shrouded in haze
Am Em
& we kissed by the wire and they all held their fire
B Em
In the good old bad old days
D G
Just remember how lovely it couldn’t have been
C G
When the world was as closed as a door
Am Em
I remember those nights down in old east Berlin
B B7
With the microphones listening under the floor
D G
And every stamp in this passport of mine
C G
Was a record of kisses you gave
Am Em
Yes we suffered in style and its all in the file
B Em
In the good old bad old days
[Chorus]
Em
Yai dei dei, dei dei dei, dei dei dei da dei dei
Am Em
Ya dei da dei dei dei dei
Am Em
Ya dei dei dei,ya dei da dei
B Em
Ya da dei dei dei dei dei
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em
All the streetlights were waltzing together, crimson & green
Em Am D G
& your dress was as gray as the weather, oh what a dream
Em Am B Em
We built up a city of whispers and classified war dossiers
Am Em
I gave you control of my papers and soul
B Em
In the good old bad old days
D G
Ah yes wasn’t it miserable, wasn’t it grand?
C G
When the world had an iron divide
Am Em
And people could take a political stand
B B7
Just by singing a song for the opposite side
D G C G
Now nobody cares who you are anymore and nobody cares what you say
Am Em
Its libertys curse, but was it really much worse
B Em
In the good old bad old days?
[Chorus]
Em
Yai dei dei, dei dei dei, dei dei dei da dei dei
Am Em
Ya dei da dei dei dei dei
Am Em
Ya dei dei dei,ya dei da dei
B Em
Ya da dei dei dei dei dei
[Verse 3]
Em Am Em
Now Alyosha is gathering flowers every May
Em Am D G
& the statue of Marx by the tower faces away
Em Am B Em
By the wall is a souvenir table with hammers & sickles displayed
Am Em
On new watches, that work, and they-re sold by a Turk
B Em
In these good old bad new days
D G
Now I’m working for Euros and drinking alone
C G
Where we used to spend marks at the bar
Am Em
And the weeds have grown over the border of stone
B B7
That cuts through the town like a surgical scar
D G
And so many streets on this faded old map
C G
Are like names written over a grave
Am Em
It all makes me so mad cause it wasnt that bad
B Em
In the good old bad old days
[Outro]
Em Am Em
So dont look for a final solution here in Berlin
Em Am D G
For capitalist prostitution comes from within
Em Am B Em
Don’t worry about revolution we’ll just keep the aesthetic cliches
Am Em
In this market of fleas, selling klezmer CDs
B Em
For the good old bad old days
D G
So genossen, tavarishi, let’s make a toast
C G
To the time when the state knew your name
Am Em
And we-ll all say -lchaim-, -na zdrovye- und -Prost-
B B7
To that braver old world where we all are the same
D G
Where nobody loses & everyone wins
C G
Just as long as each comrade obeys
Am Em
But thats all in the past so lets raise up a glass
B Em
To the good old bad old days
