For Germany

FOR GERMANY

{chorus}
(E)(C)(Am)(G)
You wouldn't let me leave for Texas or Tennessee,
(E)(C)(Am)(G)
So why're you gonna leave me for Germany?

(E)(C)
I wouldn't drop your hand
(E)(C)
Not for Alabama
(Am)(G)
Nor New Zealand.

And I wouldn't change your plans,
Not for fame and fortune,
Nor North Ireland.

{repeat chorus}

And, I'll give up on London,
I'll leave Paris,
Well enough alone.

I'll never set foot down in
Africa again if
You'll just stay at home.

(E)(C)(Am)(G)
I recall the day you begged me to stay
(E)(C)(Am)(G)
And, so I stayed away from Botony Bay,

I vowed to wait, said I would never leave,
Not for New Orleans, not for Los Angeles.

{repeat chorus}

Oh, so please won't you stay,
Away from Bremerhaven,
from Eisenhuttenstadt.

'Cause when you asked I stayed,
From old Johannesburg,
and from Oranjestad.

{repeat chorus}
