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
