[Interlude]
(This part is in 3/4, the talking part is just switching between Em and B using a walking bass technique)
Em B Hello, Em B Em B Em B how are you? Em B Em B Em B Em B It's nice to meet you, are you feeling quite well? Em B Em B I've got a secret, Em B Em B We've got a song, Em B Em B Slim as a sliver, Em B Em B Not very long, Em B Em B And if you like it, Em B Em B Then blow us a kiss, Em B Em B it's nearly started, Em B Em B It goes like this, Em A dagger, a dagger, please fetch me a dagger, B Atone for our treasonous deeds, Am Em A delicate matter, yes trust me a dagger, Edim B It's just what this plan of ours needs, Am Em We'll follow the script to the letter, Am B Abandon his corpse in the sea, Am Em You can't see Berlin with the sun in your eye, B To fail is most high, yes trust me a dagger it's just what this plan of ours needs. Am D We'd walk in the park in the fall, G D Em We'd laugh and we'd point at them all, Am D With tears in our eyes we'd collapse on the grasses, G D Em Death be the sum of us all, Am D Em/Eb This war is the sum of us all, my dear,
Marianne!
[Spoken part - back to doing Em - B , engaging with the audience, no point writing this part as lyrics]
Em And if you would call me your sweetheart, B I'd maybe then sing you a song A B G But the shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun, Em Bb5 B You would cry out your eyes all along. Em We're damned after all. B Through fortune and flame we fall. A B G Em And if you can stay then I'll show you the way, B Bb5 B To return from the ashes you call. Em We all carry on A B When our brothers in arms are gone A B So raise your glass high G Em For tomorrow we die, Em B Em And return from the ashes you call!
