D A
I suppose I'm glad I'm on this train
G
And it's long
D
Somewhere between Dunkirk and Paris
D A
Most people here are still asleep
G
But I'm awake
A D
Looking out from here, at half-past France
D A
Things are much different here than Norway
G
Not so cold
D
Wonder when we'll be in Dundee
A
Old Hollweg knows his way around
G
He's no fool
D
Wish I'd get to see my son again
A G A G
But from here on it's got to be
A G A G
A simple case of them or me
A G A
If they're alive then I am dead
G Em
Pray God and eat your daily bread, take your time
D
We're so far away
A
Floating in this bay
D
We're so far away
A G D
From home, where we belong
D A G
I'm not afraid now of the dark, anymore
D
And many mountains now are molehills
D A G
Back in Berlin they're all well fed, and I don't care
D
People always bored me anyway
A G A G
From here on it's got to be
A G A G
A simple case of them or me
A G A
If they're alive then I am dead
G Em
Pray God and eat your daily bread, take your time
D
We're so far away...
A
Floating in this bay...
[Repeat chorus until the song fades out]
