Forty Years by Joe Jackson
Forty Years
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
E B E C G C G
Here in Berlin - people line up to get in
E B E C G C G
To wait for the end - living in glorious sin
E B E C G C G
They've looked around - and now there is no looking back
E B E C G C G
To when rivers ran red - now it's the sky that grows black
E B E C G C G
Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth
E B E C G C G
We light a match - but what is that little flame worth
[Chorus 1]
A F#m D E
Once allies danced and sang
A B C D E
But it was forty years ago
E B E C G C G
[Verse 2]
E B E C G C G
Here in D.C. - they talk about 'Euro-disease'
E B E C G C G
And how the French are always so damn hard to please
E B E C G C G
Motions are passed in Brussels but no one agrees
E B E C G C G
And no one walks tall - but no-one gets down on their knees
[Chorus 2]
A F#m D E
Once allies laughed and drank
A B C D E
But it was forty years ago
E B E C G C G
[Verse 3]
E B
Where I come from
E C G C G
They don't like Americans much
E B E C G C G
They think they're so loud, so tasteless, and so out of touch
E B E C G C G
Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers
E B
Self-satisfied
E C G C G
Awaiting the next forty years
[Chorus 3]
A F#m D E
Once allies cried and cheered
A B C D E
But it was forty years ago
[Instrumental Outro]
E B E C G C G [repeat anb fade]
