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