Verse
Dm Gm Dm
I followed you over the border down to the Spree
Dm Gm C F
You were standing alone by the water waiting for me
Dm Gm A Dm
We wandered along by the river, the towers all shrouded in haze
Gm Dm
& we kissed by the wire and they all held their fire
A Dm
In the good old bad old days
C F
Just remember how lovely it couldn’t have been
A# F
When the world was as closed as a door
Gm Dm
I remember those nights down in old east Berlin
A A7
With the microphones listening under the floor
C F
And every stamp in this passport of mine
A# F
Was a record of kisses you gave
Gm Dm
Yes we suffered in style and its all in the file
A Dm
In the good old bad old days
[Chorus]
Dm
Yai dei dei, dei dei dei, dei dei dei da dei dei
Gm Dm
Ya dei da dei dei dei dei
Gm Dm
Ya dei dei dei,ya dei da dei
A Dm
Ya da dei dei dei dei dei
[Verse 2]
Dm Gm Dm
All the streetlights were waltzing together, crimson & green
Dm Gm C F
& your dress was as gray as the weather, oh what a dream
Dm Gm A Dm
We built up a city of whispers and classified war dossiers
Gm Dm
I gave you control of my papers and soul
A Dm
In the good old bad old days
C F
Ah yes wasn’t it miserable, wasn’t it grand?
A# F
When the world had an iron divide
Gm Dm
And people could take a political stand
A A7
Just by singing a song for the opposite side
C F A# F
Now nobody cares who you are anymore and nobody cares what you say
Gm Dm
Its libertys curse, but was it really much worse
A Dm
In the good old bad old days?
[Chorus]
Dm
Yai dei dei, dei dei dei, dei dei dei da dei dei
Gm Dm
Ya dei da dei dei dei dei
Gm Dm
Ya dei dei dei,ya dei da dei
A Dm
Ya da dei dei dei dei dei
[Verse 3]
Dm Gm Dm
Now Alyosha is gathering flowers every May
Dm Gm C F
& the statue of Marx by the tower faces away
Dm Gm A Dm
By the wall is a souvenir table with hammers & sickles displayed
Gm Dm
On new watches, that work, and they-re sold by a Turk
A Dm
In these good old bad new days
C F
Now I’m working for Euros and drinking alone
A# F
Where we used to spend marks at the bar
Gm Dm
And the weeds have grown over the border of stone
A A7
That cuts through the town like a surgical scar
C F
And so many streets on this faded old map
A# F
Are like names written over a grave
Gm Dm
It all makes me so mad cause it wasnt that bad
A Dm
In the good old bad old days
[Outro]
Dm Gm Dm
So dont look for a final solution here in Berlin
Dm Gm C F
For capitalist prostitution comes from within
Dm Gm A Dm
Don’t worry about revolution we’ll just keep the aesthetic cliches
Gm Dm
In this market of fleas, selling klezmer CDs
A Dm
For the good old bad old days
C F
So genossen, tavarishi, let’s make a toast
A# F
To the time when the state knew your name
Gm Dm
And we-ll all say -lchaim-, -na zdrovye- und -Prost-
A A7
To that braver old world where we all are the same
C F
Where nobody loses & everyone wins
A# F
Just as long as each comrade obeys
Gm Dm
But thats all in the past so lets raise up a glass
A Dm
To the good old bad old days
