Music by Jochen Arbeit, Christoph Dreher, Rainer Lingk, & Thomas Wydler
Words by Blixa Bargeld and Anita Lane
Chords transcribed by Greg O'Beirne ([email protected])
A(x8) C(x8)
A(x8) C(x8)
How long have we known each other now? Five, ten years, and I
A(x4) C(x4)
guess we've changed, and we'd
A(x4) C(x4)
run into each other in the subterranean
D(x8)
world... With the extras in their fright wigs and fins
F(x8)
on their way from funkhole to dugout... and
D(x8)
one night would keel over into another,
and there never would seem to be a day, and
F(x8)
hey, you used to say you were polishing up on your survival tactics
D(x8)
(techinques) for the end of the world... and
C(x4) A#(x4)
you, you used to dig your beak into my ear and say "nothing"
F(x4) A#(x4)
like a secret...
D(Gbass) (x4) C(Fbass) (x4) D(Gbass) (x4) C(Fbass) (x4)
How long have we known each other now? Fifteen, twenty years maybe, and
C(x4) A#(x4)
certainly we've changed... and we'd
C(x4) A#(x4)
run into each other in the subterranean
D(x8)
world...
C(x8)
And before I knew you or before we met
oh yes, way before then I was
D(x8)
itching in the cradle, making my way to the slime pits & the sludge traps
F(x8)
looking for love... and
D(x8)
all the bushy brats turned out from the western burgs
C(x8)
minced in the powdermills, noctambulating around
D(x8)
nowheresville
D(x8)
and some were so desperate for sleep the only retreat was the
C(x4) A#(x4) F(x4) A#(x4)
sad dormitory... yes, one would go for a rest (or a test?)
D(Gbass) (x4) C(Fbass) (x4) D(Gbass) (x4) C(Fbass) (x4)
How long have we known each other now? up to thirty years I guess, and
C(x4) A#(x4)
maybe we've changed... and
C(x4) A#(x4)
didn't we see each other in the subterranean
D(x8)
world?
F(x8)
You, did you really have your headress? - Hmmm.... yes
I used to dress up
D(x8)
like a girl, and how did you ever make it back home? I... I...
F(x8)
I'd leave a trail of pearls. Did you ever see a doctor - or a priest?
D(x8)
oh yeah - a priest
D(x8)
do you remember the guy with the sign "the end is nigh"? That was
F(x8)
me (do you remember what was written on the back?)
D(x8)
and
F(x8)
Do remember the guy with a boxful of wind? or maybe it was a cassette
D(x8)
I don't really... I don't know either - or was it me?
C(x4) A#(x4) F(x4) A#(x4)
D(x8) F(x8)
How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life
(forty years?)
D(x8) F(x8)
How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life
(fifty years)
C(x8) A#(x8)
How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life
(sixty, seventy, eighty three years)
C(x4) A#(x4)
I hope that we've changed... and
C(x4) A#(x4)
we've never seen each other in the subterranean
A(x8) C(x8) D(finish)
life...
