Capo III. Bund
       DGADGAD
Intro:       
D                           G
In einem Eck im Wirtshaus sitzt er
                A                   D
Starrt vor sich hin und durch dich durch
                G                   A                       D
Redet mit sich selber, schneidet Grimassen und trinkt sein' Wein
                       G                A          D
Und er diskutiert, gestikuliert mit unsichtbare' Leut'
                G                   A             D
Schimpft nach links und rechts, es müssen a paar sein
EM        A            G                  D
Manchmal lacht er und nickt mit dem Kopf dazu
EM               A                      G              A
Dann stampft er mit dem Fuß auf, er hat keine Minute a Ruh'
   D               G
Er schwafelt von Australien
            A                 D
Von einem Bergwerk und einer Frau
           G              A                       D
Von einem Partner, der a Schwein is und von viel Geld
Laut und deutlich hört man
G                   A             D
Wie er's ihnen schon noch zeig'n wird
      G                   A            D
Dann versteht man wieder net, was er erzählt
EM          A        G                 D
So sitzt er da, die letzten acht, neun Jahr'
EM         A       G              A
Genau weiß keiner, wo er überall war
      A          D      A         C              G
Ref.: Es hat dem alten Mann irgendwann wer 'was getan
              A       D
Was er nie vergessen kann
    A       D    A      C         G
Es hat der alte Mann a Pack'l zu trag'n
                 A         D
Das er nie mehr loswerd'n kann
D                         G
Er hat niemand', der mit ihm redet
            A                D
Und keiner hört ihm wirklich zu
         G               A                 D
Von den Kindern wird er manchmal a bissl g'schält
Wenn du ihn was fragst
               G               A            D
Schaut er kurz auf und gibt a Antwort ganz normal
           G               A                      D
Dann aber kippt er wieder gleich z'ruck in seine Welt
EM          A             G                 D
Mehr als a paar Sekunden Echtzeit sind net drin'
EM               A          G            A
Der Wirt stellt manchmal a neues Glas'l hin
      A
Ref.: Es hat dem...
                C                  G
Dann springt er auf und boxt einen Schatt'n nieder
EM           D
Prügelt a Phantom
          C                  G
Das is net oft, nur die, die ihn net kennen
G                   A     D A EM A D
Fürchten sich dann schon
      A
Ref.: Es hat dem...
