Chords

One of my favourite John Cale songs from my favourite John Cale album - Paris 1919.
G                                D
I suppose I'm glad I'm on this train

         C
And it's long

                              G
Somewhere between Dunkirk and Paris

                           D
Most people here are still asleep

        C
But I'm awake

                 D                  G
Looking out from here at half-past France

                                    D
Things are much different here than Norway

        C
Not so cold

                        G
Wonder when we'll be in Dundee

                          D
Old hollweg knows his way around

        C
He's no fool

                           G
Wish I'd get to see my son again

D         C              D   C
From here on it's got to be

D         C              D   C
A simple case of them or me

D          C               D
If they're alive then I am dead

             C              F
Pray God and eat your daily bread

F
Take your time

G
We're so far away

D
Floating in this bay

G                      F
We're so far away from home

F     C  G
Where we belong

G                         D       C
I'm not afraid now of the dark anymore

                           G
And many mountains now are molehills

                                D
Back in Berlin they're all well fed

        C
I don't care

                       G
People always bored me anyway

D         C              D   C
From here on it's got to be

D         C              D   C
A simple case of them or me

D          C               D
If they're alive then I am dead

             C              F
Pray God and eat your daily bread

F
Take your time

G
We're so far away

D
Floating in this bay

G
We're so far away

D
Floating in this bay
... these two lines repeat to fade
