G
          Bm        F
It's too late now
               C       F
She's got me dreaming
                  Bm             F#         F
Without you there is no truth according to me

G
             Bm       F
Inside and around me
               C      F
Tears got me drinking
                  Bm                  F#          F
Without you there is no scope in the morning for me

C
                                D
One of these days in the night
                                     F
Old enemies will come back to fight
And since you would then disagree
             G#
We will be skinned alive
                   Bb           C
When full colored kings arrive
                                    D
And teach then we will all we know
                            F
Bring popcorn for Geronimo
And dance with our freshly made friends
   G#                        Bb                   C
Ignoring the old ones - the boring and cold ones
                                   D
And when the colossus crawls west
                                     F
Jazz bastards will fall and confess
We all love you so and
             G#
You rock is paradise plastic
       Bb
It's cheap and fantastic!

G
          Bm
It's too late now
