Bm  A   G  F#

Bm                                   A
The rain falls down in Amsterdam the streets are wet and black
G                               F#sus
Midnights like November by the glow of a cigarette
     Bm                                     G

The girls on hash in station square looking stupid from the drugs
A                                             F#
When Marlene heard the boots march there were reasons to be dumb
      Bm
Shiny helmuts in the shadows
      G
Those trains that left at night
      Bm                           G
Those hiding in the cellars those eyes afraid of light
Bm                                  G
Something neath the border's poured poison in the well
    A                                             Bm
The creature has uncoiled and is crawling up from hell
Em               Bm
Here comes 1914 1932 
      A
Those cattle cars and yellow stars
     Bm
It's right back to the roots
     Em                       Bm
It's movin in the open with a snarl and a growl
    A                                              Bm
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the prowl
Bm                     A
Fire bomb those houses burn those refugees
G
Be the crowd and do your work
F#                  Bm
Applauding silently round up all the gypsies
   G
Go sell them on the trains
A
Can't you smell the smoke now
F#
Drifting through the rain
Bm
Jews better draw your curtains 
            G
You better lock your doors up tight
        Bm                            G
They're snarling up in Rostock in the beer hall belly nights
    Bm
The Fourth Reich's coming now baby
G                               A
They're writing out the page in Rome, Berlin, and Stockholm
                       Bm
The beast has left the cage
Em              Bm           
Here comes 1932 here comes deja vu
      A
Those cattle cars  and yellow stars 
              Bm
Was there someone that you knew
     Em                      Bm
It's right there in the open somethings smelling bad
    A                              Bm
The cages have been broken and the beast is a running mad
Bm
Those canals and cozy houses
      A
Those reflections in the light
         G
You can almost feel it moving
    F#sus
The monster in the night
Bm
It's looking with it's yellow eyes
     G                           A
It's out to settle scores in the dim medieval distance
        F#
Feel it breathing down your pores
   Bm
In Salt Lake City and in Rio
    G
The beast can smell the flames
     Bm                            G
It's faxing hate out in Marseilles typing out your name
        Bm                              G
You can hear the windows shatter as the time is drawing near
A
Kristall Nacht come to town
                             Bm 
Welcome back to the house of mirrors
A                                 Bm
The fire and the armbands and the iron arm salutes
A                                F#
Pointing to the scapegoat was it me or was it you
Bm
It's right there in the open
A
Don't just stand there hoping 
    G
the leashes have been broken
        Bm
And the dogs are on the loose
Bm                                A
Now I have been here thinking how lucky I have been
  G                                 F#
I never touched the barb wire never saw the money grin
   Bm                            G 
No rifle ever smashed my face no bare electric shock
     A
But I'll confess up 
                 F#
All I know who I am and who I'm not
   Bm                        G
To see retired killers is to see the lion yawn
    Bm                                   G
The shinheads do their dirtywork for the cloak and dagger pawns
    Bm 
The dark eyes will be waiting there
         G
When the borders they are crossed
   A                                              Bm
So keep your filthy swastikas and shove your iron cross
Em              Bm
Here comes 1914 1932
      A
Those cattle cars and yellow stars 
     Bm
It's right back to the roots
Em
It's out  there in the open
Bm
It's crawling on the move
    A                              Bm
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the loose
Bm
Can't you smell the blood now

Can't you smell the truth
Bm
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam
