	  OUR GERMAN SONG
	  (aka "WO IST DER BAHNHOF?!")
	  By Debbie Ridpath Ohi for Urban Tapestry
	  Sept/2005
	Ê
	  
	  A                    E
	  So we learned some German so they'd
	  F                G
	  be amazed at Filkcontinental
	  A         E                      F
	  Ow, our mouths can't make these sounds
	  G
	  Please be gentle!
	  
	  A               E
	  And we studied hours 'til our
	  F                G
	  brains exploded (well not quite) it
	  A          E                        F
	  took some time but we learned ONE PHRASE
	  G
	  Here, let's try it:
	  
	  CHORUS:
	  D               A
	  Wo ist der Bahnhof
	  E               A
	  Wo ist der Bahnhof
	  D              A
	  Wo ist der Bahnhof
	  E               A
	  Wo ist der Bahnhof
	  
	  A                 E
	  So we packed our luggage, we flew
	  F                  G
	  'cross the ocean, all excited,
	  A        E                 F
	  Landed, found a Help Desk clerk, and
	  G
	  we recited:
	  	  
	  (CHORUS)	  
	  
	  A            E
	  We wanted a taxi but hey
	  F                     G
	  we'll take the train, don't need first class
	  A         E                 F
	  Then we wondered, is there lunch?
	  G
	  so we asked
	 	  
	  (CHORUS)
	  
	  A                E
	  But they didn't feed us, they just
	  F                       G
	  made us get off, it was NOT what we needed, (we)
	  A        E               F
	  Found a restaurant, sat down
	  G
	  and we pleaded
	  
	  (CHORUS)

       A                   E
       At the end of this story, they ar-
       F            G
       -rested us, threw us in prison
       A          E               F
       Now we're working hard to learn a
       G
       phrase that isn't:
       
       
       (CHORUS)
