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]
