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