C 

verse 1 
Dm                          G 
Smooth the bricks under her feet 
                C                         F 
The curl of her hair on the curve of her cheek 
Dm                       G 
Kneeling she looks up at me 
                 C                         F 
The old, dark cathedral towering over the street 
            Dm                   G 
All we can smell and all we can see 
        C                         F 
Every cafe on the long, winding street 
         Dm                       G 
Suddenly all of the children will sing 
              C                  F 
An afternoon song for the sky opening 
G 
We're all watching 

C               Am 
Gray, part into blue 
                     G 
Stained window-glass hues 
G 
Old becomes new 
           C 
Follow me through 
               Am 
The back-alley road 
            G 
Drink the unknown 
G 
Honey we're home 
                                     C 
You and me lost in the heart of Köln 

verse 2 
Dm                    G 
We'll attend every ballet 
              C                           F 
I'll take her hand and we'll dance to the train 
            Dm                   G 
Our rooftop flat overlooking the bay 
            C                              F 
All of our friends in their sailboats will wave 
                Dm                     G 
We'll close the window as it starts to rain 
          C                       F 
Listen to water-drops tapping the pane 
                 Dm                        G 
The sun will set soon and the star-lit champagne 
          C                    F 
Until the morning will keep us awake 
G 
We're both watching 

C               Am 
Gray, part into blue 
                     G 
Stained window-glass hues 
G 
Old becomes new 
           C 
Follow me through 
               Am 
The back-alley road 
            G 
Drink the unknown 
G 
Honey we're home 
                                     C 
You and me lost in the heart of Köln
