[Verse]
G
I'm an ignorant Englishman wandering through Germany
C
and I don't speak the language "excuse me, can you help me?"
G
wow that's amazing, your english is great
D G
it makes me feel even more ignorant.
C G
I'm sorry about all the stuff at home with the referendum
D G
it wasn't my decision, just the majority of my country men
C G
and the feeling back at home now is one of regret
D G
you know they didn't even give that money to the NHS
C G
it was a big fat lie on a big red bus
D G
these fuckin' politicians are a right bunch of cunts
C G
the only thing I can say about the European Union is...
D
Entschuldigung
[Chorus]
G C
Entschuldigung
G
Entschuldigung
D G
Friede auf Erden
C
Entschuldigung
G
Entschuldigung
D G
Friede auf Erden
[Verse]
G
I spent two weeks in Germany travelling on the trains
C
playing gigs in places with complicated names
D
I fell in love with the country almost overnight
in a strange hotel in Quedlinburg with the window open wide
G
and did you know that Germany's not actually called Germany?
C G
it's called Deutschland, Germany's just what other countries call it
D
and that's a funny thing to get your head around
G C
I mean imagine if you was called Steve and everyone else called you John
G D
I know there's a language barrier but really come on
C G
We should be building bridges but instead we're building walls
D G
and what was once the euro tunnel will soon be border patrol
[Chorus]
G C
Entschuldigung
G
Entschuldigung
D G
Friede auf Erden
C
Entschuldigung
G
Entschuldigung
D G
Friede auf Erden
[Outro]
G
Travelling is good for your mind and for your soul
C
you should try to visit places that you've never been before
D
speak to different people and experience different culture
G
find the polar opposite and look for something similar
