Lyrics

Had to get the train

from (Dm)Pots dam er Platz.

You nev er knew that,

that I could (F)do that.

Just (G7)walk ing the dead.

(Fmaj7)Sit ting in the Dschun gel Twen ty thou sand peo ple

on (Dm)Nürn ber ger Stra sse.

A man lost in time

near Ka De (F)We.

Just (G7)walk ing the dead.

Walk dead.

Where are we now?

Where are we now?

The mo ment you know, you know, you know.

(Fmaj7)Sit ting in the Dschun gel Twen ty thou sand peo ple

on (Dm)cross se Brü cke.

A Fin gers are crossed

just in case.

(F)We.

Just (G7)walk ing the dead.

Walk dead.

Where are we now?

Where are we now?

The mo ment you know, you know, you know.

As long as there’s sun.

As long as there’s sun.

As long as there’s rain.

As long as there’s rain.

As long as there’s fire.

As long as there’s fire.

As long as there’s me.

As long as there’s you.

As long as there’s fire.
