Verse:
    G+G
I spent two weeks in Germany travelling on the trains
C majorC
playing gigs in places with complicated names
     D MajorD
I fell in love with the country almost overnight

in a strange hotel in Quedlinburg with the window open wide

C majorC             G+G
 it's called Deutschland, Germany's just what other countries call it
  D MajorD
and that's a funny thing to get your head around
    G+G                  C majorC
