C Am
Lisbon is in Portugal, Madrid’s next door in Spain.
F G
Brussels is in Belgium, Kiev’s in The Ukraine.
C Am
Sofia’s in Bulgaria, and while you’re in the area,
F G
There’s Chisinau, Moldova, and Athens down in Greece.
C Am
Then there’s Bucharest, Romania, Tirana in Albania,
F G C
And Sarajevo, Bosnia, now happily at peace.
[Verse 2]
F Fm C
The Netherlands has Amsterdam, Malta has Valletta.
G C
Oslo’s up in Norway I suggest you take a sweater.
F C
Priština is in Kosovo, although I am afraid

It’s not recognised in Serbia, so don’t sing this in Belgrade.

C Am
San Marino is its own one ‘cos it’s just a little fella.

Andorra is the same except they stick on a “La Vella”.

Luxembourg and Monaco are similarly dinky.
F G
Hungary has Budapest; Finland has Helsinki.
C Am
There’s Skopje, Macedonia, there’s Tallinn in Estonia,
F G
Montenegro’s Podgorica - I’ve said that right I hope.
C A Am
Rome, of course, in Italy, and nestled in it prettily,
F G C
The Vatican, a city state in which you’ll find the Pope.
F C
Lithuania has Vilnius and now I’m sure you’re eager
G C
For the capital of Latvia; so here you go: it’s Riga.
F C
Copenhagen is in Denmark, Minsk’s in Belarus.
D G
It was once called Belorussia, but that’s fallen out of use.
[Verse 4]
*Tempo Speeds up*
C Am
Now the capital of Switzerland’s a tricky one to learn.
F G
Is it Zurich or Geneva? Well no, actually it’s Bern.
C Am
Warsaw is in Poland - why not visit it today?
F G
Prague’s the Czech Republic, London’s the UK.
C
Reykjavík’s in Iceland.
Am
Another very nice land
F G
Is Sweden – visit Stockholm if you ever get the chance.
C
Vaduz, you’ll find in Liechtenstein.
Am
Vienna, home of Wittgenstein,
F G C
Is Austria and Paris is the capital of France.
[Outro]
*Tempo slows*
F C
Berlin is in Germany, Zagreb is in Croatia.
G C
We’re going to ignore the ones that partly lie in Asia.
F C
So no Russia and no Kazakhstan, no Turkey, no Armenia
G C
Just Nicosia in Cyprus and Ljubljana in Slovenia!
