There was a Cresolution pending on the FUnited EmNations Dmfloor
In Creference to the question, "What's a Fpeace keepEming force Dmfor?"
Who beAmlieved it would be solved in a Cday?
No one who Amwalked out of that building on the Ceighth of May
In their Amtired-suited, worn-eyed Cway.F  
I got a message from my Fsister, she just had a Ckid
I had to get to CopenFhagen to see how she Cdid
My haircut startled a CaFnadian, he called me a C"skid"
Thought the charge for Amroaming international's well Chid
Someone is listening on my Amphone when I show up on the Cgrid
Me--I'm just a Amloner in a world full of Emkids - Fegos, and ids. 
A year before and we were Fgetting in, getting bottled in CCork
On television, Congress Fcrying about abusing the Cpork
I told the barFtender we were all from New CYork
Sometimes the path of least reAmsistance will gain you the Cmost
Well, more than trying to map the Amdistance up and down the East CCoast
When you're in Munich making Ammusic, raise your glass and say, Em"Probst!"
Make it Feasy on your host
(Solo - Alternate between F and C four times, hammer-on and
pull-off pinky on third fret B string and index first fret
high E string, listen to the song for the rhythm.)
AmOver mountains and Bbfar away
Your triDmbuneral Cmockeries of Emjustice still Cdog my steps
BbUntil I see that next Amsmiling face
A little Dmgood will Cgoes a mighty Emlong wayC  
A little Dmgood will Cgoes a Gmighty long way
I finally made it up to FSweden to see Little CDove
Some folk remembered our last Fmeeting and bore me no Cgrudge
And from the barFtender, complimentary Cmugs
Oh, if only I could Amstay a while, what am I aCfraid of?
All this psychic Amdamage of all the years I'm Cmade of
Tell the barFtender, I think I'm falling in Clove
Tell the barAmtender, I think I'm falling in Clove
Tell the barFtender, I think I'm falling in Emlove
Tell the barFtender, I think I'm falling in Emlove
Tell the barFtender, I think I'm falling in Emlove
Tell the barFtender, I think I'm falling in Emlove
Tell the barAmtender, I think I'm falling in Clove
Tell the barAmtender, I think I'm falling in Clove
Tell the barFtender, I think I'm falling in Emlove
Tell the barFtender, I think I'm falling in Emlove
Tell the barAmtender, I think I'm falling in Clove
                          Am    CI'm falling in love
                          F    EmI'm falling in love
                          F    EmI'm falling in loveFMaj7  
Notes:
The last  Fon each of the verses should be an  Fpower chord on low E, rather than 
a open/barre chord.
The last  Gduring the bridge is similar.
All of the chords during the bridge except the last  Gshould be barred from the A string,
        e.g.  Am- x0221x,  Bb- x13331x,  C- x35553,  Dm- x57765,  Em- x79987
Last chord - xx3210

C F Em Dm

There was a resolution pending on the United Nations floor

C F Em Dm

In reference to the question, "What's a peace keeping force for?"

Am C

Who believed it would be solved in a day?

Am C

No one who walked out of that building on the eighth of May

Am C F

In their tired-suited, worn-eyed way.

F C

I got a message from my sister, she just had a kid

F C

I had to get to Copenhagen to see how she did

F C

My haircut startled a Canadian, he called me a "skid"

Am C

Thought the charge for roaming international's well hid

Am C

Someone is listening on my phone when I show up on the grid

Am Em F

Me--I'm just a loner in a world full of kids - egos, and ids.

F C

A year before and we were getting in, getting bottled in Cork

F C

On television, Congress crying about abusing the pork

F C

I told the bartender we were all from New York

Am C

Sometimes the path of least resistance will gain you the most

Am C

Well, more than trying to map the distance up and down the East Coast

Am Em

When you're in Munich making music, raise your glass and say, "Probst!"

Make it easy on your host

(Solo - Alternate between F and C four times, hammer-on and

pull-off pinky on third fret B string and index first fret

high E string, listen to the song for the rhythm.)

Am Bb

Over mountains and far away

Dm C Em C

Your tribuneral mockeries of justice still dog my steps

Bb Am

Until I see that next smiling face

Dm C Em C

A little good will goes a mighty long way

Dm C G

A little good will goes a mighty long way

F C

I finally made it up to Sweden to see Little Dove

F C

Some folk remembered our last meeting and bore me no grudge

F C

And from the bartender, complimentary mugs

Am C

Oh, if only I could stay a while, what am I afraid of?

Am C

All this psychic damage of all the years I'm made of

F C
