After much searching and many awful attempts at 'playing by ear',
I've cobbled together some chords for this great little tune by The Passions.
There's a lovely article about it on their website too: http://www.thepassions.co.uk/german_film_star.html
Sounds great on my ukulele but works for other instruments too. Have fun!
